A method for manufacturing a toner, including periodically forming liquid
droplets of a toner constituent liquid comprising a resin and a colorant
by vibrating a thin film having a plurality of holes provided on a
retention part thereof to discharge the liquid droplets of the toner
constituent liquid from the plurality of holes and forming toner
particles by solidifying the liquid droplets discharged from the
plurality of holes. In periodically forming the liquid droplets of the
toner constituent liquid, a flow of gas in a direction of discharge of
the liquid droplets is formed by a gas flow generation unit provided
downstream from the thin film relative to the direction of discharge of
the liquid droplets, including a tapered part forming an aperture
corresponding to a hole formation area of the thin film.
