摘要:
A method of producing a toner having a process of mixing colored particles and outer-additives by using a mixer with an agitating blade whose shaft portion is sealed with a gas having a flow rate of from 0.4 m3/hr to 3 m3/hr and which rotates at such a high speed as a peripheral speed at a tip of said agitating blade in a range of from 20 m/sec to 50 m/sec. When the colored particles and outer-additives are mixed with each other, there is no generation of aggregates thereby and the toner can be obtained at a high yield. Therefore the toner which hardly generates a white streak and fog, even after a long period of continuous operation of development of electrophotographs is performed, can be obtained.

A process for producing a polymer toner comprises the steps of pouring a polymerizable monomer composition containing at least a polymerizable monomer and a colorant, but containing no oil-soluble polymerization initiator into an aqueous dispersion medium containing a dispersing agent; adding an oil-soluble polymerization initiator to the polymerizable monomer composition while stirring the composition to form primary droplets thereof, thereby bringing the droplets of the polymerizable monomer composition into contact with droplets of the oil-soluble polymerization initiator to form droplets of a polymerizable monomer composition containing the oil-soluble polymerization initiator; further continuing the stirring to form secondary droplets having desired droplet sizes; and then conducting suspension polymerization of the polymerizable monomer composition.
