The present invention provides an electrostatographic toner that has n a condensation polymer binder having carboxylic acid end groups and an acid number of 4 or greater. The carboxylic end groups are converted to metal salts having the structure;n n(—COO −1 ) n M +n n nwhere M is selected from groups IB, IIB, IIIB, IVB, VB, or IA, IIA, IIIA, IVA, VA, VIA, VIIA and VIIIA of the periodic table and n is an integer from 1-4. The present invention also provides a developer of carrier particles and the electrostatographic toner. |
