Patent ID: 8389195

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a capsule toner comprising a toner base particle comprising a binder resin and a colorant, and a resin coating layer formed on the surface of the toner base particle, the method comprising: a fine resin particle adhering step of adhering plural fine resin particles having different complex viscosities at a softening temperature of the toner base particle to the surface of the toner base particle by fluidizing the toner base particles and the plural fine resin particles by using a rotary stirring apparatus comprising a rotary stirring section and a spraying section and rotating the rotary stirring section; a spraying step of spraying a spray liquid being a liquid for plasticizing the toner base particle and the plural fine resin particles, to the toner base particle having the plural fine resin particles adhered thereto, in a fluidized state from the spraying section by continuing rotation of the rotary stirring section; and a film-forming step of forming a resin coating film on the surface of the toner base particle by continuing rotation of the rotary stirring section until the plural fine resin particles adhered to the toner base particle are softened and form a film.
