Abstract

A toner for producing electrostatic latent images is produced by classifying a pulverized feed material into a coarse powder and a fine powder in a first classifying means, pulverizing and recycling the coarse powder to the first classifying means, introducing the fine powder into a multi-division classifying chamber divided into at least three sections where the fine powder is classified into at least a coarse powder fraction, a medium powder fraction and a fine powder fraction. The medium powder fraction is recovered to provide a toner. The coarse powder fraction is recycled to the first classifying means.
