The specific design of microcapsules by liquid‐phase separation on organic solvents is enabled using a method for the selection of wall materials and solvents based on solubility parameters and, finally, molecular structures of raw material candidates. The feasibility of the method is demonstrated by the fabrication of a microcapsule toner called “curlfit toner”, whose superior surface coverage properties over conventional toners are demonstrated by enlargements juxtaposed in the Figure.
