    Abstract: A method for producing a resin fine particle includes dissolving or melting an oily mixture containing at least a polyester resin, a base, and a basic dye while applying a shearing force to the oily mixture, and emulsifying the dissolved or molten oily mixture by adding a surfactant and an aqueous medium while applying a shearing force to the dissolved or molten oily mixture to prepare a dispersion liquid of the resin fine particle. The resin fine particle includes the polyester resin and the basic dye, has a volume average particle diameter of 0.05 μm or more and 1 μm or less, and has a ratio of a concentration of the basic dye in a center of gravity portion of the resin fine particle to a concentration of the basic dye in a surface layer portion having a depth of 10 nm or less from a surface of the resin fine particle of 0.8 or more.

    Abstract: A method for producing a toner for developing an electrostatic charge image includes: performing first aggregation that involves, in a dispersion containing first amorphous resin particles, aggregating at least the first amorphous resin particles; performing second aggregation that involves, in a dispersion that contains second amorphous resin particles and first aggregated particles obtained by aggregating the first amorphous resin particles, aggregating the second amorphous resin particles around the first aggregated particles; and heating a dispersion that contains second aggregated particles obtained by aggregating the second amorphous resin particles around the first aggregated particles so as to fuse and coalesce the second aggregated particles and form toner particles, in which a volume-average particle diameter DB of the second amorphous resin particles is smaller than a volume-average particle diameter DA of the first amorphous resin particles, and the first amorphous resin particles have a glass transition temperature of 50° C. or higher, and the second amorphous resin particles have a glass transition temperature of 50° C. or higher and 63° C. or lower.

    Abstract: A unit includes: a developing device configured to develop an electrostatic charge image that is formed on a surface of an image carrier, as a toner image with a developer including a flat toner containing a flat pigment, the developer being accommodated in the developing device; and a transfer device including an intermediate transfer belt onto which the toner image formed on the surface of the image carrier is primarily transferred, a primary transfer device configured to primarily transfer the toner image formed on the surface of the image carrier to a surface of the intermediate transfer belt, and a secondary transfer device configured to secondarily transfer the toner image on the surface of the intermediate transfer belt to a surface of a recording medium, wherein the intermediate transfer belt contains a resin and conductive carbon particles, and after the flat toner adheres to an outer circumferential surface of the intermediate transfer belt in a loading amount of 3 g/cm2, in a case where air is blown to the outer circumferential surface from an upper side of the outer circumferential surface while increasing a blowing pressure, all the flat toner adhering to the outer circumferential surface is separated from the outer circumferential surface at a blowing pressure of 25 kPa or less.
