In a process for producing toner particles through granulation by a wet
process, a process for producing toner particles is provided that enables
reduction of water content in wet toner particle cakes obtained by
separating toner particles from a toner particle dispersion in a good
efficiency, followed by washing, and enables efficient wash-away of
impurities remaining on the toner particle surfaces so as to promise
superior image characteristics. The toner particles are produced through
a filtering step in which a slurry which contains toner particles is
subjected to solid-liquid separation by means of a belt filter having a
pressing aeration means which carries out aeration with pressing, to form
wet toner particle cakes.
