摘要： A method of manufacturing electrophotographic toner according to the present invention includes the step of mixing at least toner particles and an additive for a predetermined mixing time to produce the toner, with the predetermined mixing time being set within a range from a first mixing time, at which chargeability of the toner (which changes according to the duration of mixing of the toner particles and the additive) shows a singular point, through a second mixing time, at which preservation of the toner (which also changes according to the duration of mixing) shows a singular point. By this method, a mixing time which maximizes the effects of the additive can be easily set. Accordingly, using a method simpler than conventional methods, a toner can be obtained which has good characteristics with regard to both chargeability and preservation.

摘要： A process for preparing a toner includes forming a melt-kneaded mixture by mixing a raw material mixture containing a quaternary ammonium salt compound at a temperature ranging from (M-7).degree. C. to (M+7).degree. C., where M is a melting point of the quaternary ammonium salt compound, with a kneading device having a discharge port whose temperature is set lower than a temperature at which a melt viscosity of the melt-kneaded mixture at the discharge port is not higher than 10,000 Pa.a, removing the melt-kneaded mixture from the kneading device, rolling out the melt-kneaded mixture to a thickness ranging from 1.2 mm to 3.0 mm, and cooling down the melt-kneaded mixture. With the use of the toner produced by this process, the amount of charge during copying is retained in an appropriate range irrespectively of the working atmosphere and conditions of use, thereby maintaining a good image density.

摘要： A binder resin as the main component of the toner has a low molecular weight polypropylene as a separating agent, encapsulated therein. Using this binder a toner with the wax having a diameter of 0.3 .mu.m or less dispersed therein is produced. The wax is included 0.5 part to 5 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the binder resin. This limitation of the toner prevents the setoff phenomenon during the fixing process and at the same time prevents the filming phenomenon over the photoreceptor and achieves an improved fixing performance.
