Method for manufacturing toner for electrostatic image development

A process for producing a toner for development of electrostatic images, the process comprising:

• mixing a releasing agent and a water dispersion comprising resin particles (A) to obtain a water dispersion comprising releasing agent particles containing the resin particles (A), wherein said mixing is performed by a dispersion treatment at a temperature not lower than a melting point of the releasing agent using a disperser;
• mixing the water dispersion comprising the releasing agent particles containing the resin particles (A) with a water dispersion comprising resin particles (B) to aggregate the releasing agent particles and the resin particles (B), thereby obtaining aggregated particles;
• and
• coalescing the aggregated particles to obtain coalesced particles,
• wherein the resin particles (A) comprise a composite resin comprising a segment (a1) comprising a polyester resin, and a vinyl-based resin segment (a2) comprising a constitutional unit derived from a styrene-based compound;
• wherein a resin constituting the resin particles (B) comprises a segment (b1) comprising a polyester resin in an amount of not less than 50% by mass;
• and
• wherein a mass ratio of the releasing agent to the resin particles (A) [releasing agent/resin particles (A)] is from 100/1 to 100/100.
