Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for producing a toner comprising combining a binder resin, a wax, a negatively-chargeable charge control resin and a colorant to form the toner, prior to said combining, the negatively-chargeable charge control resin is obtained by drying treatment conducted for 2 to 24 hours under conditions of a drying temperature of 45 to 80° C. and a pressure of 0.5 to 20 kPa, wherein the negatively-chargeable charge control resin comprises a monomer unit having a functional group that imparts a negative charging property, a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon monomer unit, and a (meth)acrylate monomer unit.

Claim (Index 3):
The method for producing a toner according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the negatively-chargeable charge control resin is obtained by polymerization using an azo compound as a polymerization initiator, and wherein the azo compound is at least one selected from a group consisting of 4,4\u2032-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid), 2,2\u2032-azobis[2-methyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)propionamide], 2,2\u2032-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride, 2,2\u2032-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) and 2,2\u2032-azobisisobutyronitrile.
