When the toner is produced by a coagulation method, by mixing the colorant with an aqueous dispersion of the resin fine particles, aggregating step of forming an aggregate of the resin fine particles and colorant are aggregated in an aqueous medium, heating the aggregates and, through the fusion process Ru fused to obtain toner. Hereinafter, the toner production method will be described in detail, but the toner production method in the present invention is not limited to the following method.

融合工程とは、上記凝集体を、第一の樹脂のガラス転移点(Tg)以上に加熱し融合させることで、凝集体表面を平滑化させたトナー粒子(コア粒子)を得る工程である。本工程により、上記凝集体の表面積が減少し、良好な形状のトナー粒子を得ることが可能になる。また、後述の付着工程にてシェル粒子を付着させる場合、シェル粒子が効率的にコア粒子に付着する。一次融合工程に入る前に、トナー粒子間の融着を防ぐため、キレート剤、pH調整剤、界面活性剤等を適宜投入することができる。 The fusing step, the aggregate, by heating the glass transition point (Tg) or more of the first resin, obtained in Rukoto fused, toner particles aggregate surface was smoothed (core particles) process is there. By this step, the surface area of the agglomerates is reduced, and toner particles having a good shape can be obtained. In addition, when shell particles are attached in the attaching step described later, the shell particles are efficiently attached to the core particles. Before entering the primary fusing step, a chelating agent, a pH adjusting agent, a surfactant and the like can be appropriately added in order to prevent fusion between toner particles.

二次融合工程とは、付着工程により得られたシェル付着体を、酸基を有する樹脂(第一の樹脂)のガラス転移点(Tg)以上に加熱し融合させることで、粒子表面を平滑化する工程である。二次融合工程により、コア樹脂とシェル樹脂が十分に固着され、後述の洗浄やろ過等の操作で、シェルがコア粒子から脱離することを抑制する。二次融合工程に入る前に、トナー粒子間の融着を防ぐため、キレート剤、pH調整剤、界面活性剤等を適宜投入することができる。 The secondary fusing step, the resulting shell adhering member by adhesion process, by heating the glass transition point (Tg) or more of the resin (first resin) having an acid group, in Rukoto fusing, the particle surface This is a smoothing process. The core resin and the shell resin are sufficiently fixed by the secondary fusion process, and the shell is prevented from being detached from the core particles by operations such as washing and filtration described later. Before entering the secondary fusion step, a chelating agent, a pH adjuster, a surfactant, and the like can be appropriately added in order to prevent fusion between toner particles.
