An electrophotographic toner excellent in chargeability, fixing property at low temperature, and toner blocking property, and a method for producing the same are provided. An electrostatic charge comprising a crystalline resin A and an amorphous polymer B as a binder resin, the surface of which is coated with a surface layer composed mainly of an amorphous polymer C different from the amorphous polymer B. The toner for image development, wherein the endothermic peak temperature TmA [° C.] derived from the crystalline resin A and the endothermic peak TmAB derived from the crystalline resin A when the crystalline resin A and the amorphous polymer B are mixed. [° C.] and the endothermic peak temperature TmAC [° C.] derived from the crystalline resin A when the crystalline resin A and the amorphous polymer C are mixed satisfy the relationship of the following formula (1): Toner for developing electrostatic image and method for producing the same. TmAB <TmAC ≦ TmA Formula (1) [Selection figure] None |
