A process for the preparation of toner which involves i) flushing a colorant into a sulfonated polyester resin; ii) mixing an organic soluble dye with the colorant polyester resin of i); iii) dispersing the resulting mixture into warm water thereby enabling the formation of submicron particles; iv) allowing the resulting solution to cool below about, or about equal to the glass transition temperature of said sulfonated polyester resin; v) adding an alkali halide solution and heating; and optionally vi) recovering said toner, followed by washing and drying.
