Abstract
A toner for development of a latent electrostatic image containing a colorant and a binder resin formed of a mixture of a low-molecular weight component and a high-molecular weight component. Both the low-molecular weight component and high-molecular weight component are made from a styrene-acrylic copolymer where the weight ratio (A) of styrene to acrylic monomer in the low-molecular weight polymer component and an the weight ratio (B) of styrene to acrylic monomer in the high-molecular weight polymer component satisfies the relationship A/B.ltoreq.1.3. The mixing ratio of the low-molecular weight and high-molecular weight components is within the range of from 80:20 to 40:60. The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) and the number-average molecular weight (Mn) of the low-molecular weight polymer component satisfies the relationship Mw/Mn.ltoreq.3.0.
