Abstract
A method for producing a toner for developing an electrostatic charge image includes: mixing at least one flocculant into a liquid dispersion containing binder-resin particles by adding the flocculant into the liquid dispersion containing binder-resin particles while circulating the liquid dispersion containing binder-resin particles between a stirring vessel and a disperser that applies a mechanical shear force; forming aggregated particles by heating the liquid dispersion with the flocculant therein after reducing the viscosity of the liquid dispersion; and forming toner particles by heating the liquid dispersion containing the aggregated particles and thereby making the aggregated particles fuse and coalesce.
