A process for producing a toner for a liquid developer includes: preparing
an emulsion liquid containing an aqueous dispersion medium and, dispersed
therein, dispersoids containing a resin material which has an acidic
group having a salt structure formed with a basic substance and has an
acid value of from 5.0 to 20 mg KOH/mg when it is in a form of an acidic
substance without forming a salt with the basic substance, a colorant and
an organic solvent which dissolves the resin material; coalescing the
dispersoids contained in the emulsion liquid to obtain coalescent
particles; removing the organic solvent contained in the coalescent
particles to obtain colored resin particles; washing the colored resin
particles with an aqueous liquid (first washing step); dispersing the
washed colored resin particles in an aqueous liquid and performing an
acid treatment to obtain an acidic dispersion liquid having a hydrogen
ion exponent (pH) adjusted to 3.0 to 6.0; washing the colored resin
particles subjected to the acid treatment with an aqueous liquid (second
washing step); and drying the colored resin particles subjected to the
second washing step.
