as a result of the study by the present inventors , it has been found that a toner containing a organic metal complex compound having an electroconductivity of less than 110 μs / cm when dispersed in water , provides remarkable advantages of retaining an appropriate charge instantly , having a satisfactory environmental stability and maintaining a stable image density without lowering a tribo - charging performance even after being allowed to stand for a long time at a high temperature and a high humidity , as compared with a toner containing a organic metal complex compound having an electroconductivity of higher than 110 μs / cm when dispersed in water . it is considered that an electroconductivity can be raised by incorporating an inorganic salt such as an alkali salt , an ammonium salt or the like , but it has been found by the present inventors that a value of electroconductivity is not necessarily proportional to an amount of an inorganic salt to be incorporated into a organic metal complex compound and varies depending on various factors . however , it is not an object of the present inventors to analyze these factors . the present inventors have discovered that there is a strong corelationship between a stable image density and an electroconductivity when 1 wt % of a organic metal complex compound is dispersed in ion - exchanged water , and the present invention was accomplished on the basis of this discovery . that is , a charge control agent is defined as having a function of imparting a stable electrostatic charge to an electrostatic image developing toner , but when an inorganic salt generated as a by - product is present in the organic metal complex compound in an amount larger than a certain level , there is caused such a problem as to become difficult to maintain a function of providing a stable image after running for a long time not only under a high moisture environment but also under a normal moisture environment . a certain amount of the inorganic salt present in the charge control agent changes also a volume resistivity of the charge control agent , but there is not necessarily a relationship between the volume resistivity of the charge control agent and the image stability . it is considered that when using the charge control agent in an electrostatic image developing toner , the inorganic salt present in the surface layer of the charge control agent provides a great influence on the image stability . that is , the volume resistivity of the charge control agent is changed also by the inorganic salt amount in the inside of the charge control agent , but the image stability is influenced only by the inorganic salt present in only the surface layer of the charge control agent . from this reason , a relationship between an inorganic salt amount and an image stability is not clear since the inorganic salt amount in the surface layer of the charge control agent having an influence on the image stability is not specifically measured in a chemical determination of an amount of the inorganic salt in the charge control agent . according to the present invention , an excellent image stability can be obtained by providing a charge control agent having an electroconductivity within a certain range determined by measuring an electroconductivity when 1 wt % of a organic metal complex compound is dispersed in ion - exchanged water , thereby enabling to measure an inorganic salt amount only in the surface layer of the charge control agent . ( in the above formula , a ⊕ is a mixture cation of an ammonium ion , a sodium ion and a hydrogen ion .) the above compounds can be prepared by a well known method . for example , compound ( 1 ) can be obtained by diazotizing 4 - chloro - 2 - aminophenol , coupling with naphthol as to obtain a monoazo compound , forming an iron complex of the monoazo compound by a well known method , and treating an alkali metal salt of the iron complex with aqueous ammonia or various ammonium salts to obtain a compound having a mixture cation of ammonium , alkali and hydrogen ions as a counterpart ion . when the compound thus obtained is washed simply with a filter filter such as a buchner funnel ( nutsche ), an unpreferable material raising an electroconductivity dispersed in ion - exchanged water remains , and it is therefore difficult to obtain a organic metal complex compound desired in the present invention . also , when the above obtained organic metal complex compound is incorporated into a toner , an image density is adversely affected , and the conventional problem can not be solved . in order to achieve the object of the present invention , a compound having an electroconductivity of lower than 110 μs / cm ( as measured when 1 wt % of the compound is dispersed in ion - exchanged water ) can be prepared by various methods including a method of filtrating under a large pressure by a filter press , a method of filtrating by applying such a large gravity as in centrifugal filtration , a method of squeezing a reaction solvent such as water , a method of washing with a sufficient amount of water , or a method of repeating these operations or a method of combining these operations , and a method of using a reverse osmosis membrane or a semipermeable membrane . usually , when using a centrifugal filtrating machine for the purpose of achieving the object of the present invention , it is effective to use a washing water dividedly or one time in an amount of 20 to 30 times to a compound to be obtained , and it is particularly preferable to use at least 25 times amount of a washing water . also , it is effective to carry out chemical purification by dissolving a metal salt compound in an organic solvent and pouring the solution into water to precipitate a crystal , i . e . crystallization operation . a method of measuring electroconductivity is carried out in the following manner . 1 . 5 g of a dry product of a organic metal complex compound is dispersed in 150 ml of ion - exchanged water , and the resultant dispersion is boiled for 15 minutes . the boiled dispersion is cooled to room temperature by flowing water , and is filtrated by a 5a filter paper . the filtrate is adjusted to 150 ml with distilled water or ion - exchanged water , and electroconductivity is measured by an electroconductivity meter ( horiba electroconductivity meter es - 14 ). in the present invention , it is preferable to adjust a volume average particle size of a charge control agent within a range of from 0 . 1 to 20 μ , preferably from 1 to 10 μm . if the volume average particle size is less than 0 . 1 μum , the amount of the charge control agent appearing on the surface of a toner becomes very small , and the aimed effect of the charge control agent can not be achieved . on the other hand , if the volume average particle size is larger than 20 μm , an amount of a charge control agent dropped from a toner is increased , and a bad influence of polluting a copying machine is caused . in the present invention , it is preferable to add a charge control agent in an amount of from 0 . 1 to 10 parts by weight , more preferably from 0 . 2 to 5 parts by weight , per 100 parts by weight of a binder resin . the electrostatic image developing toner of the present invention basically comprises a binder resin , a coloring agent ( such as a pigment , a dye and the like ) and a charge control agent , and may further contain a release agent ( such as wax ), other additives ( such as a cleaning - improving agent , a fluidity - improving agent and the like ), and a magnetic material . the charge control agent of the present invention may be used not only in a one - component toner but also in a two - component toner , and also may be used in a capsule toner and a polymer toner , and further may be used in a magnetic toner or a non - magnetic toner . the electrostatic image developing toner of the present invention can be prepared in accordance with a well known conventional method . examples of the preparation method include a method ( pulverizing method ) comprising melting a mixture of a binder resin , a charge control agent , a coloring agent and the like in a heat - mixing apparatus , kneading , pulverizing and classifying , a method comprising dissolving the above mixture , spraying to produce fine particles , drying and classifying , and a polymerization method comprising dispersing a coloring agent and a charge control agent in suspended monomer particles , and other methods . the preparation method by the pulverizing method is described in more details hereinafter . a binder resin is uniformly mixed with a coloring agent , a charge control agent , a wax , and other additives . the mixing can be carried out by a well - known stirrer such as a henschel mixer , a super mixer , a ball mill or the like . the mixture thus obtained is heat - melted and kneaded by a sealing type kneader or a mono - axial or two - axial extruder . the kneaded product is cooled , and is roughly pulverized by a crusher or a hammer mill , and further finely divided by a pulverizing machine such as a jet mill or a high - speed rotary type mill . the pulverized product is further treated by a air classifier such as a inertia type elbowjet using a coanda effect , a cyclone ( centrifugal ) classification type microplex , a ds separator and the like , to be classified into a predetermined particle size . further , when a surface of a toner is treated by additives , the toner and additives are stirred and mixed by a high - speed stirrer such as a henschel mixer , super mixer and the like . also , the toner of the present invention can be prepared by a suspension polymerization method . in the suspension polymerization method , a polymerizable monomer , a coloring agent , a polymerization initiator , a charge control agent , and optionally a crosslinking agent , and other additives are uniformly dissolved or dispersed to prepare a monomer composition , and the monomer composition is converted into a continuous phase containing a dispersion stabilizer , for example , by dispersing into an aqueous phase by an appropriate stirrer and a dispersing machine , such as a homomixer , a homogenizer , an atomizer , a microfluidizer , a one liquid fluid nozzle , a gas - liquid fluid nozzle , or an electric emulsifying machine . at the same time , a polymerization reaction is carried out to obtain toner particles having a desired particle size . the particles thus obtained can be treated with additives in accordance with the above - mentioned method . the toner of the present invention can be prepared also by an emulsion polymerization method . as compared with the particles obtained by the above - mentioned suspension polymerization method , the emulsion polymerization method provides particles excellent in uniformity , but since the particles obtained by the emulsion polymerization method have a very small average particle size of from 0 . 1 to 1 . 0 μm , the emulsified particles may be used as nuclei and a polymerizable monomer may be added thereto to grow particles . that is , a seed polymerization method or a method of joining or melting emulsified particles to produce particles having an appropriate average particle size may be carried out . according to these polymerization methods , it is not necessary to impart brittleness to toner particles since a pulverizing step is not employed , and it is possible to employ a large amount of a low softening point material which has been hardly used in a conventional pulverizing method , thus enabling a wide choice of a material to be used . further , a coloring agent or a release agent which is a hydrophobic material is hardly exposed on the surface of toner particles , and it is therefore possible to reduce pollution of a toner - carrying member , a photosensitive material , a transfer roller and a fixer . when the toner of the present invention is prepared by the above polymerization method , a faithful image productivity , a release property , a color reproductivity and other properties can be further improved , and in order to make responsive to minute dots , a toner particle size can be minimized , and a toner of minute particle size having a sharp particle size distribution can be relatively easily produced . hereinafter , concrete materials to be used for preparing an electrostatic image developing toner of the present invention are illustrated below . as a binder resin , any of well known materials may be used , examples of which include a polymer having a vinyl polymer unit such as a styrene type monomer , an acryl type monomer , a methacryl type monomer or the like , and a copolymer of at least two kinds of these monomers , a polyester type polymer , a polycarbonate , and various rubber type polymers such as butadiene rubber . examples of a vinyl type monomer constituting a vinyl type polymer unit include styrene and its derivatives such as styrene , o -

component contact developing method , the surface of a roller carrying the toner may be rotated in the same direction of peripheral velocity as that of a photosensitive material , or may be rotated in the reverse direction . if a peripheral velocity ratio ( roller peripheral velocity / photosensitive material peripheral velocity ) becomes higher , an amount of toner supplied to a developing part becomes larger and the toner is more frequently adsorbed and desorbed to a latent image . by repeating to remove the toner on an unnecessary part and to supply the toner to a necessary part , a latent image is faithfully developed , and in such a system , the peripheral velocity ratio is preferably required to be higher . the toner of the present invention can be used also in a system wherein a toner -

forming method applicable for the electrostatic image developing toner of the present invention is concretely described hereinafter with regard to a transferring step . the transfer is carried out by electrostatically transferring an image to be developed to a transfer material by using a photosensitive material and a transfer material in a contact or non - contact state . the non - contact transferring method employs a transferring step by a well known corona charging method such as corotron or scorotron . the contact transferring method employs a transferring roller or an apparatus having a transferring belt as transferring means . the transferring roller comprises at least a mandrel and an electroconductive elastic layer , and the electroconductive elastic layer employs an elastomer having a resistivity of from 10 1 to 10 10 ω . cm such as urethane or epdm and having an electroconductive material such as carbon dispersed therein . the electrostatic image developing toner of the present invention is particularly effective for an image - forming apparatus employing an organic compound on the surface of a photosensitive material . generally , when the surface layer of a photosensitive material is formed by an organic compound , a transferring performance tends to be lowered as compared with a photosensitive material using an inorganic material since the organic compound surface layer has a stronger adhesiveness to toner particles , but since the toner of the present invention has an excellent charge controlling effect , a remaining amount of transferred toner is very small and a transferring efficiency is excellent . examples of the surface material of a photosensitive material employed in an image - forming apparatus applicable for the electrostatic image developing toner of the present invention , include silicone resin , vinylidene chloride , ethylene - vinyl chloride , styrene - acrylonitrile , styrene - methylmethacrylate , styrene , polyethylene terephthalate and polycarbonate , but are not limited thereto , and other monomers or copolymers and blends of the above illustrated binder resins are also usable . the toner of the present invention is also useful for an image - forming apparatus employing a photosensitive material of small size having a diameter of at most 50 mm . also , when forming a color image , a well - known intermediate transferring belt is usable as a color - overlapping means . as a cleaning element , a blade , a roller , a fur brush , a magnetic brush or the like can be used in an image - forming apparatus applicable for the electrostatic image developing toner of the present invention . these cleaning elements may be used in a combination of two or more kinds . various methods may be used as a method for cleaning an electrostatic image - holding material in an image - forming apparatus applicable for the electrostatic image developing toner of the present invention . an efficient blade cleaning method may be employed , but as a means for simply improving a cleaning defect by a toner , there is illustrated a method for appropriately controlling without excessively raising a charge of untransferred toner remained on a photosensitive material . also , it is preferable to impart a release property to the surface of a photosensitive material used in an image - forming apparatus applicable for the electrostatic image developing toner of the present invention , and it is preferable to make the surface of a photosensitive material so as to have a contact angle of at least 85 ° to water . more preferably , the surface of a photosensitive material has a contact angle of at least 90 ° to water . the photosensitive material surface having such a high contact angle means to have a high release property , and due to this effect , a toner amount remained after transferring can be remarkably reduced , and a load of cleaning can be largely reduced . thus , by using the toner of the present invention , generation of a cleaning defect can be surely prevented . the image - forming apparatus applicable for the electrostatic image developing toner of the present invention is useful also in a case of using a photosensitive material having a surface mainly composed of a high molecular binder resin . for example , an image - forming apparatus is useful in a case of using an inorganic photosensitive material such as selenium or amorphous silicon , on the surface of which a protective film mainly composed of a resin is provided , a case of having a surface layer composed of a resin and a charge - transporting material as a charge - transporting layer of a function - separation type organic photosensitive material , and a case of having a protective layer further provided thereon . a means for imparting a release property to such a surface layer comprises using a resin having a low surface energy for constituting a film , adding an additive of imparting water repellency or lipophilic nature , or dispersing a material having a high release property . more concrete means comprises introducing a fluorine - containing group , a silicon - containing group or the like into a structure of a resin , adding a surfactant or the like , or forming a surface layer of a fluorine atom - containing compound such as polyethylene fluoride , polyvinylidene fluoride , carbon fluoride or the like . by employing these means , it is possible to produce a photosensitive material surface having a contact angle of at least 85 ° to water . if the contact angle is less than 85 °, a toner and a toner - carrying material are hardly endurable and tend to be degraded . among these means , it is particularly preferable to employ polyethylene fluoride , and it is preferable to disperse a release property - imparting powder such as a fluorine - containing resin into an outermost surface layer . the incorporation of the powder into the surface can be carried out by providing a layer having the powder dispersed in a binder resin on the outermost surface of a photosensitive material , or by dispersing the powder directly in the outermost surface layer without providing a new surface layer in a case of an organic photosensitive material mainly composed of a resin . an amount of the powder to be incorporated into the surface layer is preferably adjusted so as to provide an appropriate sensitivity suitable in the present invention . examples of a binder resin include polycarbonate resin , polyester resin , polyvinyl butyral resin , polystyrene resin , acryl resin , methacrylic resin , phenol resin , silicone resin , epoxy resin , vinyl acetate resin and the like . an amount of the release property - imparting powder is preferably from 1 to 60 wt %, more preferably from 2 to 50 wt %, to the total weight of a charge - generating layer and a surface layer . if the amount of the powder is less than 1 wt %, an amount of a toner remained after transferring is not sufficiently reduced , and a cleaning efficiency of the toner remained after transferring is not satisfactory , and accordingly an effect of preventing a ghost is not satisfactory . on the other hand , if the amount of the powder is higher than 60 wt %, a strength of a film is unpreferably lowered or an amount of light incident on a photosensitive material is remarkably lowered . a particle size of the powder is preferably at most 1 μm , more preferably at most 0 . 5 μm , in view of an image quality . if the particle size of the powder is larger than 1 μm , an incident light scatters and an image of a line does not become sharp and is practically unusable . on the other hand , a technique of cleaning at the same time as development or a cleaningless technique as disclosed in jp - a - 5 - 2287 is also applicable for the toner of the present invention . a conventionally known system can be employed as an image - forming apparatus applicable for the electrostatic image developing toner of the present invention , examples of which include a system of heating under pressure using a heat roller , a system of fixing by flash for high - speed fixing , or the like . in the system of heating under pressure using a heat roller , fixing is carried out by passing a fixing sheet having a toner image on the surface under pressure by a heat roller , the surface of which is prepared by a material having a release property to the toner . according to this system , since the toner image of the fixing sheet is made contact with the surface of the heat roller under pressure , a heat efficiency for melting the toner image on the fixing sheet is very satisfactory , and the fixing can be promptly carried out so as to be very effective for a high - speed electrophotographic copying machine . in place of the system of heating under pressure by the heat roller , another fixing system may be employed , which comprises placing a recording material in contact with a heated material intervening a film under pressure by a pressing member . in order to improve an offset property so as not to have a toner attached to the surface of a fixing roller , the surface of the roller may be composed of a material having an excellent release property ( such as a fluorine type resin ) to a toner and an offset - improving liquid such as a silicone oil is further applied to the surface to coat a thin film of the offset - improving liquid on the roller surface , thereby achieving a very high effect . when using a toner softened by heat , which is easily attached to a developing roller , an electrostatic image - holding material , a contact charging element and the like , it is effective for improving a fixing performance to incorporate a low molecular weight component such as a wax component into a toner . in the electrostatic developing toner of the present invention , in view of image property and productivity of the toner , the toner should preferably have an average particle size based on volume in the range of from 2 to 15 μm as measured by a laser type particle size distribution - measuring machine such as micronsizer ( manufactured by seishin kigyo k . k .). a more preferable average particle size is in a range of from 3 to 12 μm . if the average particle size exceeds 15 μm , resolving power and sharpness become poor , and if the average particle size is less than 2 μm , the resolving power is satisfactory , but a yield of toner production becomes low and a production cost becomes high , and various tendency that a problem of scattering of a toner in a machine and a health problem due to invasion of a toner into a human skin are caused . with regard to a particle size distribution of the electrostatic image developing toner of the present invention , by measuring a particle size by a coulter counter ( ta -
