Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a two-component developer including an initial toner and a carrier is previously charged into a developer tank, and a replenishment toner is replenished into the developer tank as the development proceeds. The image forming apparatus has the following configuration. The initial toner contains, as external additives, a fine powder prepared by adding silica to strontium titanate to form a core and hydrophobizing a surface of the core with a silane compound, and a silica particle, and does not contain any titanium dioxide particle or contains a titanium dioxide particle at 50% by mass or less of the fine powder. The replenishment toner contains, as external additives, a titanium dioxide particle and a silica particle, and does not contain the fine powder or contains the fine powder at 50% by mass or less of the titanium dioxide particle.

Abstract: A method for producing a resin particle dispersion includes: preparing a phase-inverted emulsion by phase inversion emulsification of a resin using an organic solvent and an aqueous medium; and removing the organic solvent from the phase-inverted emulsion contained in a distillation tank by reduced pressure distillation. During the reduced pressure distillation, the rate of pressure reduction in an environment in which the pressure inside the distillation tank is equal to or higher than vapor pressure and equal to or lower than (the vapor pressure+5 kPa) when the concentration of the organic solvent in the phase-inverted emulsion is in the range of 30% by mass or less to 1% by mass or more is from 0.01 kPa/min to 0.5 kPa/min inclusive until the pressure inside the distillation tank reaches a preset reduced pressure for the reduced pressure distillation.
