Production method of toner

Abstract

A production method of toner particles has steps of mixing a binder resin and a colorant, melting and kneading the mixture, pulverizing the kneaded material, and classifying the pulverized materials to give a colored resin particles. Then the colored resin particles are mixed with silica particles having an average primary particle size of 16 to 28 nm with the number of particles (A) that are less than 15 nm in particle size, the number of particles (B) that are between 15 and 30 nm in particle size and the number of particles (C) that are larger than 30 nm in particle size having the relation of (B)/(A)>4 and (B)/(C)>4. To obtain toner particles, the resultant mixture is heat-treated to make the colored resin particles spherical and to make the silica particles fixed on the surface of the colored resin particles.
