性能ぶれによる再現性に欠ける製品となる。The toner used for developing electrostatic latent images in electrophotography is produced using a pulverization method in which a low melting point resin is mixed with colorants such as carbon black, dyes and pigments, and a charge control agent, and then pulverized and classified. Manufactured. - The average particle size of the toner manufactured by the pulverization method for boat fishing is 10 to 15 μm,
Its particle size distribution is in the range of 1 to 30 μm. In order to obtain even smaller particles with a narrower distribution from this range, it is necessary to carry out a precise classification process, but the cost is extremely high due to the labor involved in the classification process and the reduction in classification yield, which poses a problem from an economic point of view. . In addition, when manufacturing using the cross-wire pulverization method, it is extremely difficult to uniformly disperse and add internal additives such as colorants and charge control agents that are added to low-melting point resins. performance, and in particular causes unevenness in images and printability due to non-uniform charge. Furthermore, in the case of the pulverization method, the shape after pulverization is amorphous, resulting in a mixture of various shapes. Therefore, the correlation between the chargeability and image of each individual particle and the average particle size and particle size distribution becomes unclear, resulting in a product that lacks reproducibility due to performance fluctuations between lofts.
これら粉砕法の欠点を改良する方法が種々試みられてい
る。その最も代表的な方法として、重合法による現像剤
の製法が提案されている。Various methods have been attempted to improve the drawbacks of these pulverization methods. As the most representative method, a method for producing a developer using a polymerization method has been proposed.

の粒度分布が広くブロードとなる欠点がある。As a method for producing a dry toner by a polymerization method, an emulsion polymerization method in an organic solvent can be mentioned, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 61-273552 and 61-273553. All methods have the drawbacks of using an organic solvent for the reaction, requiring a long time to form particles, and having a broad particle size distribution.

均一な分散も困難であるとの欠点があった。Examples of the suspension polymerization method include JP-A-61-22354 and JP-A-61-67039. In either method, a homomixer that utilizes shearing force from high-speed rotating blades during suspension is used as the suspension means. Although this method is effective in shearing the polymerized monomer, which is the main component, it is inferior in that it produces particles with a uniform particle size distribution, and the particle size distribution of the product becomes broad. Another drawback is that it is difficult to uniformly disperse the additives and other additives to be added internally to the polymerized monomer.

工程を必要とする場合、コストアンプとなってしまう。JP-A No. 63-113561 proposes a method of treating a dispersion liquid and a polymerized monomer in the dispersion liquid using a high-pressure homogenizer for the purpose of reducing the diameter and narrowing the distribution of particles. ing. The working mechanism of this pressure-type homogenizer is that the pressurized processing liquid flows into the low-pressure section through a controlled micro-gap and collides with a collision member, such as an impact ring, installed in the low-pressure section, causing shearing. It is something. However, even in this method, the diameter of the generated particles is 5 to 16 μm.
Do you have 9 items within the range and 90 original items? A turbidity was not obtained,
It is difficult to obtain a narrow distribution product with an average particle diameter of 5 to 9 μm, and a classification step is required to obtain a small particle size narrow distribution product, and if the classification step is required, the cost will be increased.

An object of the present invention is to provide a toner production method that can efficiently produce uniformly dispersed toner.
