Abstract
Provided is a method for producing a carrier for developing an electrostatic latent image, the carrier including carrier particles each including a core particle with a surface coated with a coating material including a resin, and the method including the steps of: a) obtaining first coating resin particles by polymerizing an alicyclic methacrylate monomer using, as a polymerization initiator, an azo compound having a nitrogen atom-containing substituent; b) obtaining second coating resin particles by polymerizing an alicyclic methacrylate monomer using a persulfate as a polymerization initiator; and c) forming carrier particles by coating surfaces of core particles with a coating material obtained by mixing at least the first and second coating resin particles.
