  • Publication number: 20060183045
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a developing agent comprising dissolving a binder resin component in a supercritical fluid or a subcritical fluid, mixing it with a colorant component, reducing the solubility of the binder resin component in the supercritical fluid or subcritical fluid, and causing the binder resin component to be deposited in the form of particles while the colorant component is dispersed within the binder resin component. After the pressure within a reaction vessel is decreased from A (MPa) to B (MPa) (where A>B>critical pressure) following the manufacture of a developing agent, the method proceeds back to a developing agent manufacturing step again when at least a developing agent material and a supercritical fluid or a subcritical fluid are injected into the reaction vessel under high pressure.
