The invention relates to a production method of a firming agent, and in particular relates to a production method of a sulfoacid firming agent for casting sand mold ink-jet printing resin. The production method is characterized by comprising the following steps: turning off a discharging valve at the bottom of a reaction kettle, starting a power supply, turning on a methylbenzene feeding valve, sequentially adding methylbenzene and anhydrous sodium sulfate, starting a stirrer, and meanwhile slowly adding concentrated sulfuric acid; after feeding materials, raising temperature and refluxing; preserving the reaction temperature and removing 10-25 parts of water, subsequently turning on a methylbenzene recovery valve, turning off a reflux valve, adding de-ionized water, and decreasing temperature when methylbenzene is recovered to 40-96 parts; when the temperature of material liquid is reduced to 70 DEG C, refilling the de-ionized water which is evaporated when evaporating methylbenzene; when the temperature of the material liquid is reduced to 40 DEG C, sampling and inspecting, and discharging materials after the materials are qualified. The method disclosed by the invention is unique, the corrosion of the firming agent can be remarkably weakened, the technological requirements of the firming agent for 3D resin are achieved, the rate of a sulfonation reaction is improved and a sulfurizing defect on casting surface is remarkably relieved.
