In the present process for producing a toner, previous to the melt-kneading process, the binder resin particles and colorant particles are mixed and treated applying the shear, compression and impact force to fasten (fix) the colorant particles on the surface of the binder resin particles and/or in the vicinities of the surface. Compared with the conventional process, in the present process, the colorant can be more uniformly dispersed in the binder resin when they are melt-kneaded, to provide an excellent toner which has high coloring power and high transmission properties as well as stable anti-flying or fogging quality with economical advantages. |
