Method of manufacturing toner, uses of toner in electrophotography methods and apparatus

摘要

A method of manufacturing a toner including the steps of continuously feeding a mixture before emulsification of an aqueous medium and an oil phase comprising dissolved and dispersed materials comprising a toner component comprising a resin and a colorant to a continuous emulsification mechanism comprising k (k is an integer of 1 or more) tandemly arranged continuous emulsification units, each of the continuous emulsification units comprising an accumulation portion comprising an emulsification portion comprising emulsification stirring blades and a circulation portion filled with a slurry formed in advance by emulsifying the oil phase in the aqueous medium, an inlet, and an outlet, and continuously performing emulsification in the continuous emulsification mechanism.
