Method of preparing latex for toner composition and method of preparing toner composition using the same

A method of preparing a toner composition, the method comprising:

• preparing a monomer solution by dissolving a polyester-based monomer in an organic solvent and adding a vinyl-based monomer thereto;
• preparing an aqueous macromonomer solution by dissolving a macromonomer in water;
• mixing the monomer solution and the aqueous macromonomer solution to prepare a solution in which the monomers and macromonomer are suspended;
• polymerizing the monomers by adding a hydrophobic polymerization initiator to the suspended solution to prepare a polymerized latex composition;
• and
• adding a wax, a colorant, and a dispersant to the polymerized latex composition.
