An electrostatic latent image developing toner is provided for which if surface area values for 1-butanol, ethylbenzene, n-butyl ether, styrene, butyl propionate, cumene, benzaldehyde and propylbenzene obtained from gas chromatographic analysis of volatile gas components generated upon heating the toner are termed, a, b, c, d, e, f, g and h respectively, then Z1 and Z2 satisfy the formulas shown below. Z 1 = 5.2 × 10 - 6 a + 9.6 × 10 - 7 b + 2.7 × 10 - 6 c - 2.5 × 10 - 6 d + 8.7 × 10 - 6 e + 1.5 × 10 - 7 f + 1.1 × 10 - 6 f + 8.3 × 10 - 7 h - 1.81 Z 2 = - 6.9 × 10 - 6 a + 4.6 × 10 - 6 b - 3.9 × 10 - 7 c + 2.5 × 10 - 6 d - 2.1 × 10 - 5 e + 2.3 × 10 - 7 f - 6.8 × 10 - 7 g + 1.2 × 10 - 6 h - 1.82 Z1 ≤ 0, and Z2 ≤ 0.9 |
