Abstract:
A method of producing a toner including the steps of: mixing resin fine particles, an organic solvent, and a resin R with a dispersion medium containing carbon dioxide, to prepare a dispersion of resin R-containing droplets; and removing the organic solvent by flowing carbon dioxide, wherein the resin fine particles contain one or more resins that have a partial structure A, B, and C, and are soluble in chloroform; the SP value of the partial structure A, the resin R, and the partial structure B satisfy particular relationships; a resin A constituted of the partial structure A and a resin B constituted of the partial structure B are soluble in the organic solvent; and a resin C constituted of the partial structure C is insoluble in the organic solvent.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of producing a toner according to  claim 14 , wherein the resin Y is at least one polymer selected from following (IV) to (VII):\n (IV) a graft polymer having the partial structure A and the partial structure C as branch segments; (V) a copolymer in which a segment having the partial structure A as a trunk segment is bonded to a segment comprising a graft polymer having the partial structure C as a branch segment; (VI) a copolymer in which a segment having the partial structure C as a trunk segment is bonded to a segment comprising a graft polymer having the partial structure A as a branch segment; and (VII) a copolymer in which a segment having the partial structure A as a trunk segment is bonded to a segment having the partial structure C as a trunk segment, and the resin Z is at least one polymer selected from following (VIII) to (XI): (VIII) a graft polymer having the partial structure B and the partial structure C as branch segments; (IX) a copolymer in which a segment having the partial structure B as a trunk segment is bonded to a segment comprising a graft polymer having the partial structure C as a branch segment; (X) a copolymer in which a segment having the partial structure C as a trunk segment is bonded to a segment comprising a graft polymer having the partial structure B as a branch segment; and (XI) a copolymer in which a segment having the partial structure B as a trunk segment is bonded to a segment having the partial structure C as a trunk segment.
