Particle set for producing printed matter, apparatus for producing printed matter, and method for producing printed matter

A particle set for producing a printed matter, the particle set comprising:

• a chromatic color toner comprising toner particles A;
• and
• pressure-responsive particles comprising base particles B,
• wherein:
• the pressure-responsive particles are transparent;
• the base particles B comprise a styrene resin comprising, as polymerization components, styrene and a vinyl monomer other than styrene, and a (meth)acrylate resin comprising, as a polymerization component, a (meth)acrylate;
• a mass ratio of the styrene resin to the (meth)acrylate resin (styrene resin:(meth)acrylate resin) is 80:20 to 20:80;
• a difference between the lowest glass transition temperature and the highest glass transition temperature of the pressure-responsive particles is 30° C. or more;
• the toner particles A have a volume average particle diameter D50A;
• the base particles B have a volume average particle diameter D50B;
• the D50A and the D50B satisfy formula 1-1 below:
• 1.5 μm<(D50B−D50A);
• formula 1-1:
• the toner particles A and the base particles B both comprise a releasing agent;
• and
• a ratio (WB/WA) of a releasing agent content WB in the base particles B to a releasing agent content WA in the toner particles A is 0.05 or more and 0.8 or less.
