A process for preparing a toner for electrostatic image development, the
process comprising the steps of: (S1) mixing an aqueous pigment
dispersion and an aqueous resin particle dispersion containing
self-dispersible polyester resin particles as a binder resin to prepare a
mixture; and (S2) adding a polyvalent metal salt as a flocculant to the
mixture while stirring to form aggregates of the pigment bonded to the
resin particles, wherein the self-dispersible polyester resin is prepared
by reacting a carboxylic acid compound with an alcohol compound inclusive
of a polyhydric alcohol, the carboxylic acid compound being one or more
of a polycarboxylic acid having three or more carboxyl groups and its
anhydride.
