Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is a toner for developing electrostatic charge image containing a wax derived from a plant cholesterol, an electric charge-controlling agent, a coloring agent and a binding resin. The toner is suited for use in the electromagnetic induction-heated fixing system which is capable of heating the heating member up to a predetermined fixing temperature in a short period of time, makes it possible to maintain images free of irregular luster or fouling for extended periods of time and is, further, suited for being fixed at a low temperature.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A toner for developing electrostatic charge image containing a wax obtained by the reaction of a plant sterol with a higher fatty acid, a coloring agent and a binder resin. 2. The toner for developing electrostatic charge image according to claim 1 , wherein said plant sterol is a phytosterol. 3. The toner for developing electrostatic charge image according to claim 1 , further containing a charge control agent.…
