A process for preparing a toner for electrostatic image development, the
process comprising the steps of:(S1) mixing an aqueous pigment dispersion
and an aqueous resin particle dispersion containing self-dispersible
polyester resin particles as a binder resin to prepare a mixture; and(S2)
adding a polyvalent metal salt as a flocculant to the mixture while
stirring to form aggregates of the pigment bonded to the resin
particles,wherein the self-dispersible polyester resin is prepared by
reacting a carboxylic acid compound with an alcohol compound inclusive of
a polyhydric alcohol, the carboxylic acid compound being one or more of a
polycarboxylic acid having three or more carboxyl groups and its
anhydride.
