[PROBLEMS] To form a stable image with no image blur or dust on any transfer medium with sharp charge amount distribution, excellent fluidity, and with an appropriate image density and extremely low background contamination. In particular, the present invention provides a toner that is compatible with a low-temperature fixing system, has good offset resistance, and does not contaminate a fixing device and an image while maintaining cleaning properties even when used repeatedly for a long period of time. A toner composition containing a binder resin containing a modified polyester resin capable of reacting with a compound having at least an active hydrogen group, a colorant, and a release agent is dissolved or dispersed in an organic solvent. A toner obtained by dispersing the toner composition solution or dispersion in an aqueous medium containing resin fine particles and subjecting the resultant to an elongation reaction to remove an organic solvent from the obtained dispersion, washing, and drying. 1. An electrophotographic toner comprising at least one kind of inorganic fine particles inside. [Selection figure] None |
