A resin for toner, which contains as a major component a polymer obtained by mixing 20 to 80 parts by weight of a low molecular weight polymer having a number-average molecular weight of 1,000 to 5,000 and Tg of 40 to 75°C, 80 to 20 parts by weight of a vinyl monomer, 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of a polymerization initiator, and 0 to 3 parts by weight of a crosslinking agent, dispersing the mixture in an aqueous system, and conducting polymerization. This resin is excellent in low-temperature fixability, offset resistance, distinctness of images and can prevent copied images from causing changes by, for example, bleeding of a plasticizer. |
