A method for producing a toner, that can produce a low temperature fixable
toner in a stable manner, a toner produced by the production method, a
two-component developer using the toner, a developing device and an image
forming apparatus are provided. The toner is produced using an aqueous
dispersion obtained by dispersing a crystalline self-dispersion polyester
resin having at least one carboxyl group and containing a compound
represented by the following chemical formula (I) as an alcohol component
in an aqueous medium. The aqueous dispersion, a colorant particle aqueous
dispersion and a wax particle aqueous dispersion are mixed to aggregate,
and a non-crystalline self-dispersion polyester resin particle aqueous
dispersion is further added to perform aggregation. The liquid mixture
containing the aggregates is heated and washed, thereby obtaining a
toner:
H O--CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.2 .sub.nOH (1)
wherein n is an integer of from 2 to 50.
