Abstract:
A toner for developing an electrostatic charge image contains toner particles containing at least one binder resin, a release agent, and a coloring agent, and a cross-sectional image of the toner particles meets requirements (1) and (2): requirement (1), an average of ten or more domains, per toner particle, of the release agent have an area of 0.5% or more and 5.0% or less of the area of the toner particle; requirement (2), in a Voronoi tessellation generated from the centroids of the domains of the coloring agent, the mean area of the Voronoi cells is 0.020 μm2 or more and 0.060 μm2 or less, and the standard deviation of the areas of the Voronoi cells is 0.010 μm2 or less.
