Image formation processes such as electrostatic recording and electrostatic photography using static electricity are performed by applying a photoconductive substance such as selenium, cadmium sulfide, or amorphous silicon onto a base material such as aluminum or paper. The process of forming an electrostatic latent image by an optical signal on the top, the colored fine particles adjusted to 10-50μ called toner, and the toner in a two-component developing method using a carrier (iron powder, ferrite powder, etc.). In the one-component development method, the toner is directly charged, and then the latent image is visualized by acting on the electrostatic latent image.

Colored fine particles generally called toner include a binder resin and a colorant as essential components, and are further formed of magnetic powder or the like as necessary. As a method for imparting charge to the toner, the charge characteristics of the binder resin itself can be used without using a charge control agent.
Poor image quality cannot be obtained due to poor moisture resistance. Therefore, a charge control agent is usually added for the purpose of holding and controlling the charge of the toner. Quality characteristics required for the toner include excellent chargeability, fluidity, fixability, etc.,
These quality characteristics are greatly affected by the electrical control agent used in the toner.

Conventional charge control agents added to toners include (1) 2: 1 type metal-containing complex dyes (JP-B-45-26478 and JP-B-41-201531) as colored negative charge control agents, and phthalocyanine pigments (JP-A No. 52-45931) Examples of the colorless negative charge control agent include the charge control agents described in JP-B-59-7384 and JP-A-61-3149, and the like. Dyes, various quaternary ammonium salts (Electrostatics Society of Japan, 1980, Vol. 4, No. 3, P-114) and the like are known. It does not sufficiently satisfy the quality characteristics required for the toner such as the toner properties.

For example, a toner containing a 2: 1 type metal-containing complex dye known as a negative charge control agent has a modest level of charge amount, but a 2: 1 type metal complex dye generally has a dispersibility in a binder resin. Is inferior.
For this reason, the toner is not uniformly dispersed in the binder resin, and the distribution of the charge amount of the obtained toner is poor in sharpness. The obtained image has low gradation and poor image forming ability.

Further, since the 2: 1 type metal-containing complex salt dye has a hue centered on black, there is a drawback that it can be used only for a toner having a limited hue based on black. A metal complex of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid can be cited as a nearly colorless negative charge control agent (Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-7384). However, this one has the drawback that it cannot be completely colorless, and has a disadvantage in its positive dispersion. . Further, as a colorless negative charge control agent, there is a compound introduced in JP-A-61-3149. However, since this compound has a low melting point, it is difficult to produce a stable toner due to poor thermal stability during toner production. There is a disadvantage that it is.

The toner using any of the compounds showed a small change in the specific charge amount, and the stability over time of the developer was extremely excellent. When the images were copied by a copying machine, all of the developers were excellent in gradation, and a clear image was obtained in the original hue of the colorant.

[Effects of the Invention] The electrophotographic toner obtained in the present invention has a sharper charge amount distribution, moisture resistance, and stability over time than toners using a conventional charge control agent. As a result, it is characterized in that an image with extremely high gradation is obtained, and the repetitive image forming ability is extremely good. Further, since the charge control agent itself is essentially colorless, any colorant can be selected in accordance with the hue required for the color toner, and the original hue of the dye or pigment is not hindered at all. Another feature is that there is no need to do it.
