Abstract
An electrostatic image developing toner comprising a resin and a colorant is disclosed. The resin comprises a polymerization component of a polymerizable monomer having a polar group in an amount of 1.0 to 10.0 percent by weight, and a polymerization component of a polyfunctional polymerizable monomer in an amount of 0.1 to 10.0 percent by weight; ratio (A/B) is from 0.5 to 20.0 percent; and either a peak or a shoulder is positioned in the molecular weight region of 5,000 to 20,000, wherein A is an area of a chromatograph curve in the molecular weight region of 60,000 to 1,000,000, based on GCP measurement of a THF soluble component of toner and B is an entire area of the chromatograph curve.
