Toner, method for producing toner, and developer

A method for producing a toner including periodically forming and discharging liquid droplets of a toner composition liquid containing at least a resin, a releasing agent and a colorant from a plurality of nozzles formed in a thin film which is provided in a reservoir for the toner composition liquid, by vibrating the thin film using a mechanically vibrating unit, and forming toner particles by solidifying the liquid droplets, wherein the forming toner particles comprises primarily drying the liquid droplets under a stream of dry gas containing an organic solvent whose partial pressure is equal to or higher than 1/10 of a saturated vapor pressure thereof but is equal to or lower than the saturated vapor pressure, the saturated vapor pressure being that at a drying temperature; and secondarily drying the primarily dried liquid droplets for solidification while the organic solvent is being evaporated.
