Abstract (en)

A method of producing toners for use in electrophotography comprising the following steps carried out in sequence: (a) mixing colorant particles with a monomer and pulverizing the colorant particles in the monomer in the presence of a peroxide compound, thereby to disperse the colorant in the monomer eventy as finely divided particles: (b) adding an azobisnitrile polymerization initiator to the monomer; (c) dispersing the monomer in an aqueous alkaline medium containing a first water soluble inorganic salt, to provide an aqueous alkaline dispersion of the monomer; (d) adding a second water soluble inorganic salt which reacts with the first water soluble inorganic salt to form a salt which is slightly soluble or insoluble in water, to the aqueous alkaline dispersion of the monomer, thereby to for such a salt under substantially neutral conditions; (e) adding an alkali to the aqueous dispersion of the monomer to make it alkaline, to stably disperse the monomer; and (f) suspension- polymerizing the monomer to polymer particles. u
