Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a toner, comprising: preparing a droplet forming device, comprising: a solution storage portion configured to store a toner composition solution; a thin film formed from a rigid material, bonded to the solution storage portion by way of a bonding material, and provided with at least one nozzle; and an oscillation device including an oscillation generation device configured to generate an oscillation upon the thin film and an oscillation amplification device which has an oscillation surface including a position that is parallel and opposite to the thin film and is configured to amplify the oscillation generated with the oscillation generation device; periodically forming a droplet of the toner composition solution including at least a resin and a coloring agent to be supplied between the thin film and the oscillation surface and discharging the droplet via the at least one nozzle; and solidifying the droplet of the toner composition solution discharged via the at least one nozzle, and thereby forming a toner particle.
