A method of manufacturing toner including adding an oil phase comprising
an organic solvent in which a binder resin, a coloring agent and a
releasing agent are dissolved or dispersed and an aqueous phase to an
emulsification device equipped with a stirrer, continuously dispersing or
emulsifying the oil phase and the aqueous phase in the emulsification
device equipped with a stirrer to form a liquid dispersion or emulsion
comprising oil phase particles, transporting the liquid dispersion or
emulsion to a tank, removing the organic solvent from the liquid
dispersion or emulsion followed by drying to form mother toner particles,
wherein the releasing agent has been preliminarily prepared to have a
dispersion diameter of from 0.15 to 0.7 .mu.m before the releasing agent
is contained in the oil phase, a circumferential speed of the stirrer is
from 15 to 25 m/s, and a volume particle diameter (DV') of the oil phase
particles at an exit of the emulsification device to the tank and a
volume average particle diameter (Dv) of the oil phase particles in the
tank satisfy the following relationships:
