Abstract
Disclosed is a toner for developing a statically charged image, which comprises a fixing resin and, dispersed therein, a colorant and a charge-controlling dye. This toner is characterized in that the tangent (tan .delta.) of the loss angle is in the range of from 0.95 to 1.25 when the storage modulus of elasticity (G') is 10.sup.4 dyne/cm.sup.2. The toner having such rheological characteristics has an excellent fixing property, a high offset resistance, a capacity of forming an image having a high quality and a good durability.
