摘要 |
The invention provides a process for producing a toner for electrophotography including the following (1) to (4): (1): adding an aggregating agent to a resin particle dispersion (a) so as to attain an aggregating agent concentration Ea (wt %), to thereby produce an aggregated particle dispersion (A); (2): adding a resin microparticle dispersion (b) to the dispersion (A), to thereby produce a dispersion (B) having an aggregating agent concentration Eb (wt %) satisfying 0.60@Eb/Ea<1; (3): modifying the aggregating agent concentration of the dispersion (B), to thereby produce a dispersion (C) of resin microparticle-deposited aggregated particles, having an aggregating agent concentration Ec (wt %) satisfying 0<Ec/Ea@0.30; and (4): heating the resin microparticle-deposited aggregated particles in the dispersion (C) at a temperature falling within a range between Tg and Tg+20 (0 C) of the resin microparticles in the resin microparticle dispersion (b), to thereby coalesce the aggregated particles. |
