PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for improving the charge stability and the storage stability of an electrophotographic toner.SOLUTION: A dispersion element of colorant particles including a colorant and a dispersion element of mold release agent particles including a mold release agent having a volume average particle diameter smaller than that of the colorant particle are mixed. In the dispersion element of the colorant particles and the mold release agent particles, the colorant particles and the mold release agent particles are aggregated so as to generate a first aggregate. The dispersion element including the first aggregate is mixed with a dispersion element of resin particles including a binder resin and having a volume average particle diameter smaller than that of the mold release agent particle. In the dispersion element of the aggregate and the resin particles, the first aggregate and the resin particles are aggregated so as to generate a second aggregate which is the first aggregate whose surface is covered by the resin particles. Thus, an electrophotographic toner including the second aggregate is produced. |
