Pressure sensitive adhesive particle, cartridge, apparatus for producing printed material, method for producing printed material, printed material, sheet for producing printed material, and method for producing sheet for producing printed material

A pressure sensitive adhesive particle comprising:

• a styrene resin that contains, as polymerization components, styrene and a vinyl monomer other than styrene;
• and
• a (meth)acrylate resin that consists of, as polymerization components, a first alkyl(meth)acrylate and a second alkyl(meth)acrylate, and a mass ratio between the first alkyl(meth)acrylate and the second alkyl(meth)acrylate in the (meth)acrylate resin is from 80:20 to 20:80,
• wherein:
• a volume-average particle diameter (D50 v) of the pressure sensitive adhesive base particle is from 6 μm to 12 μm;
• the pressure sensitive adhesive particle has a core that contains the styrene resin and the (meth)acrylate resin, and a shell layer that covers the core;
• the core has a sea phase that contains the styrene resin, and island phases that are dispersed in the sea phase and contain the (meth)acrylate resin;
• the pressure sensitive adhesive particle has at least two glass transition temperatures, and a difference between the lowest glass transition temperature and the highest glass transition temperature is 30° C. or more;
• and
• in a cross section of the pressure sensitive adhesive particle, an area ratio of the island phases is 30% or more and 85% or less.
