In the production method of the present invention, the cloud point refers to a temperature at which a solution becomes cloudy for the first time when an aqueous solution of a water-soluble polymer substance is heated. At temperatures below the cloud point, the water-soluble polymeric substance is in a hydrated state with water molecules in the aqueous solution,
Although it is in the form of almost monomolecular dispersion, the water-soluble polymer substance is dehydrated by the increase in temperature to form giant micelles, and the solution becomes cloudy. At this time, if impurities such as pigment particles are added to the aqueous solution of the water-soluble polymer substance,
A large amount of the dehydrated water-soluble substance is adsorbed on the surface of the pigment particles and surrounds the pigment particles. At this time, if the aqueous solution of the water-soluble polymer does not have a cloud point, or if the treatment is performed at a temperature below the cloud point, the above phenomenon is not observed,
Only a small amount of water-soluble polymeric substance is attached to the surface of the pigment. The present invention has completed the present invention, focusing on the behavior near the cloud point of such an aqueous solution of a water-soluble polymer substance.
Therefore, in the production method of the present invention, the water-soluble polymer substance that exhibits an adsorption effect on the pigment must have a cloud point. Further, in the adsorption treatment step, the aqueous solution of the water-soluble polymer substance needs to be heated to the cloud point or higher.
