When the product of the acid value (m) derived from the carboxyl group and the neutralization equivalent (n) of the carboxyl group exceeds 5, when the pH is changed to acidic, the polyester resin particles are formed before the composite resin particle formation. Therefore, the surface adhesion state of the polyester resin is deteriorated, and a sufficient coverage of the composite resin particles (C) cannot be obtained. The above formula (1) is obtained from the experimental results.
The acid value (mgKOH / g, hereinafter the same) in the present invention is measured by potentiometric titration according to JIS K0070 (1992 edition).

When the composition of (a) is specified, the calculated value calculated | required from content in (a) of the component containing titanium elements, such as a titanium containing catalyst, may be sufficient.
As a method of adjusting the titanium element content to the above range, a method of using one or more titanium-containing catalysts during the polycondensation reaction in obtaining (a) and adjusting the amount used is preferable. When the titanium element content is 100 ppm or more, the effect as a polycondensation catalyst is sufficiently obtained. When the titanium element content is 4000 ppm or less, a high catalytic action is obtained depending on the catalyst amount.
