Abstract
An apparatus for producing a toner, including a liquid droplet-forming unit configured to discharge a toner composition liquid containing at least a resin and a colorant at a uniform discharge speed from a plurality of discharge holes some of which have different shapes from each other to thereby form liquid droplets, and a particle-forming unit configured to solidify the liquid droplets of the toner composition liquid to thereby form particles.

An apparatus for producing a toner, comprising:
- a liquid droplet-forming unit configured to discharge a toner composition liquid containing at least a resin and a colorant at a uniform discharge speed from a plurality of discharge holes some of which have different shapes from each other to thereby form liquid droplets, and
- a particle-forming unit configured to solidify the liquid droplets of the toner composition liquid to thereby form particles.
A method for producing a toner with an apparatus for producing a toner, the method comprising:
- discharging a toner composition liquid containing at least a resin and a colorant at a uniform discharge speed from a plurality of discharge holes some of which have different shapes from each other to thereby form liquid droplets, and
- solidifying the liquid droplets of the toner composition liquid to thereby form particles,
- wherein the apparatus for producing a toner comprises:
- a liquid droplet-forming unit configured to discharge the toner composition liquid containing at least the resin and the colorant at the uniform discharge speed from the plurality of the discharge holes some of which have different shapes from each other to thereby form the liquid droplets, and
- a particle-forming unit configured to solidify the liquid droplets of the toner composition liquid to thereby form the particles.
An apparatus for producing fine resin particles, comprising:
- a liquid droplet-forming unit configured to discharge a resin composition liquid at a uniform discharge speed from a plurality of discharge holes some of which have different shapes from each other to thereby form liquid droplets, and
- a particle-forming unit configured to solidify the liquid droplets of the resin composition liquid to thereby form particles.
