Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toner with good blocking performance and a low fusing temperature using a bio-derived amorphous polyester resin with a glass transition temperature of less than 50°C to answer a need for sustainable monomers derived from biomaterials due to growing concerns about the environment.SOLUTION: Use of a resin blend of a petroleum based resin and a bio-derived polyester resins having low glass transition (Tg) values in a toner composition results in novel bio-based toner which exhibits desirable characteristics such as good blocking performance and excellent fusing latitude.
