Abstract:
An electrostatic latent image developing toner includes a plurality of toner particles (10) each including a toner mother particle (11) and an external additive adhering to a surface of the toner mother particle (11). The toner mother particles (11) contain a crystalline polyester resin and a non-crystalline polyester resin. The toner particles (10) include, as the external additive, crystal nucleating agent particles (13) containing a crystal nucleating agent for promoting crystallization of the crystalline polyester resin. On a differential scanning calorimetry spectrum of the toner before fixing, an endotherm quantity of a heat absorption peak originating from a crystalline region of the crystalline polyester resin is less than 2.0 mJ/mg. On a differential scanning calorimetry spectrum of the toner after fixing, an endotherm quantity of a heat absorption peak originating from a crystalline region of the crystalline polyester resin is at least 6.0 mJ/mg.
