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 1):
A method of producing a toner comprising a toner particle, the method comprising the steps of:\n a) mixing a resin fine particle, an organic solvent, and a resin R with a dispersion medium comprising carbon dioxide, to prepare a dispersion, in which a droplet comprising the resin R is dispersed in the dispersion medium, and a surface of the droplet being covered with the resin fine particle; and b) removing the organic solvent contained in the droplet and dispersion medium by flowing carbon dioxide under pressurization through the dispersion, wherein\n the resin fine particle contains one or more resins that have a partial structure A, a partial structure B, and a partial structure C, \n the resin fine particle is soluble in chloroform, \n a resin A constituted of only the partial structure A and a resin B constituted of only the partial structure B are soluble in the organic solvent, \n a resin C constituted of only the partial structure C is insoluble in the organic solvent, and \n the resin fine particle satisfies following formulas (1) and (2):\n | SP R \u2212SP A |\u22642.0 \u2003\u2003formula (1) \n 3.0\u2264( SP A \u2212SP B ) \u2003\u2003formula (2) \n \n where, SP A  represents an SP value of the partial structure A, SP R  represents an SP value of the resin R, and SP B  represents an SP value of the partial structure B.
