An electrostatic image developing toner wherein in the dynamic viscoelasticity of the toner, the lowest temperature at which the value of the storage elastic modulus (G') of the toner coincides with the value of the loss elastic modulus (G'') of the toner obtained under a frequency of 6.28 rad/second in a temperature dispersion measurement at a temperature of at least 0° C. is in the range of from 60 to 75° C., or the weight average molecular weight of the toner obtained by a GPC measurement is in the range of from 20,000 to 65,000 and the peak area that the molecular weight of the toner obtained by the GPC measurement is not larger than 1,000 is 3.0% or lower.The toner is excellent in the document offset property, the bending resistance of the fixed image, the releasing property of the fixing sheet, and transparency of as optically projected image, has charging uniformity and a high stability, gives no fog and toner scattering, and can form images of excellent quality. |
