The present invention provides a toner, an image forming method, and a process cartridge that can achieve both excellent low temperature fixability, high hot offset characteristics, and good storage stability, and can form a high quality image in the long term. It contains a crystalline polyester resin (A), an amorphous resin (B), and a composite resin (C) including a polycondensation-based resin unit and an addition polymerization-based resin unit, and has a molecular weight distribution of between 1000 and 10,000. A toner containing a chloroform insoluble content having a half width of the main peak of 15000 or less, and storing the toner in a 45 ° C. thermostat for 12 hours, using a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic measurement device. When the peak height of the characteristic spectrum derived from said (A) is set to C, and the peak height of the characteristic spectrum derived from said (B) is set to R, when C / R is 0.03-0.55, It features. |
