Toner and method for producing toner

A method for producing a toner having a toner particle, the toner particle comprising a binder resin comprising a polymer A, which is a polymer of a polymerizable monomer composition containing a first polymerizable monomer, a second polymerizable monomer that is different from the first polymerizable monomer, and a crosslinking agent, wherein

• a content of polymer A in the binder resin is at least 50.0 mass %,
• the first polymerizable monomer is at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of stearyl (meth)acrylate and behenyl (meth)acrylate,
• the crosslinking agent has two or more polymerizable double bonds,
• a content of the first polymerizable monomer in the polymerizable monomer composition is 20.0 to 40.0 mol % based on the total number of moles of all polymerizable monomers and the crosslinking agent in the polymerizable monomer composition,
• a content of the second polymerizable monomer in the polymerizable monomer composition is 40.0 to 70.0 mol % based on the total number of moles of all polymerizable monomers and the crosslinking agent in the polymerizable monomer composition,
• a content of the crosslinking agent in the composition is 0.2 to 2.8 mol % based on the total number of moles of all polymerizable monomers and the crosslinking agent in the composition, and
• 0.60≤(SP22−SP12)≤15.00 and SP12<SPC2<(SP22+3.00) when SP12 (J/cm3)0.5 is the SP value of the first polymerizable monomer, SP22 (J/cm3)0.5 is the SP value of the second polymerizable monomer, and SPC2 (J/cm3)0.5 is the SP value of the crosslinking agent,
• the method comprising the steps of
• a step of forming a particle of the polymerizable monomer composition in an aqueous medium, and
• a step of obtaining the toner particle, which contains polymer A obtained by polymerizing the polymerizable monomer composition contained in the particle.
