Abstract
A toner for use in electrophotography comprising thermoplastic resin core particles (A) or colorant-embedded thermoplastic resin core particles (A') each having an average particale size of 1 to 15 .mu.m, a charge-controlling agent (B) and carrier particles (C) having an average particle size of 0.05 to 2.0 .mu.m, the charge-controlling agnet (B) being carried on the carrier particles (C), and the carrier particles (C) with the agent (B) carried thereon being embedded in the surfaces of the resin core particles (A) or the colorant-embedded resin core particles (A').

A toner for use in electrophotography comprising thermoplastic resin core particles (A) having an average particle size of from 1 to 15 .mu.m, a charge controlling agent (B) and carrier particles (C) having an average particle size of from 0.05 to 2.0 .mu.m, the charge controlling agent (B) being carried on the surfaces of the carrier particles (C), and the carrier particles (C) with the agent (B) carried thereon being embedded in the surfaces of the resin core particles (A) by mixing the core particles (A) and the carrier particles (C) with the agent (B) carried thereon while applying mechanical strain force to the mixed materials under such conditions that the resulting toner particles have an average particle size of from 1 to 20 .mu.m.
A toner for use in electrophotography comprising colorant-embedded thermoplastic resin core particles (A') having an average particle size of from 1 to 15 .mu.m, a charge-controlling agent (B) and carrier particles (C) having an average particle size of from 0.1 to 2.0 .mu.m and carrying a charge-controlling agent (B) on the surfaces thereof, the colorant being embedded in the original thermoplastic core particles by mixing the colorant and the original core particles while applying mechanical strain force to the mixed materials under such conditions that the resulting colorant-embedded core particles have an average particle size of from 1 to 15 .mu.m, and the carrier particles (C) with the charge-controlling agent (B) carried thereon being embedded in the colorant-embedded resin core particles (A') by mixing the resin core particles (A') and the carrier particles (C) with the agent (B) carried thereon while applying mechanical strain force to the mixed materials under such conditions that the resulting toner particles have an average particle size of from 1 to 20 .mu.m.
