摘要:
The present invention relates to a unit (4) detachably attachable to a main body of an image forming apparatus which has developing means (4a) for developing a latent image born on an image bearing body (1) and storage means (20) for storing a time which has elapsed from a last developing operation of the developing means. When the unit is mounted and the stored time is predetermined time or more an image density control is carried out and a developing bias or a developer bearing member is driven for a predetermined time.

A developer regulating member includes a thin plate having a spring property and a polyamide-containing rubber layer disposed on the thin plate. The polyamide-containing rubber layer contains a polyamide having the Shore D hardness between 25 and 65 both inclusive. A developing apparatus includes a developer container for containing a monocomponent developer of negative charging property, a developer carrying member provided in an opening portion of the developer container, for carrying the developer, and a regulating member for forming a nip together with the developer carrying member and regulating a thickness of a developer layer on the developer carrying member. A surface of the regulating member forming the nip is comprised of a polyamide-containing rubber layer containing a polyamide havingthe Shore D hardness between 25 and 65 both inclusive.
摘要:
An image-forming apparatus comprising an image-bearing member (1) for holding thereon an electrostatic latent image; a charging means (5) for charging the surface of the image-bearing member electrostatically; an exposure unit (6) for forming the electrostatic latent image on the image-bearing member by exposing to light the image-bearing member having been charged by the charging means; and a developing unit (3) which has at least a toner-carrying member (2) for carrying and transporting a toner (10) thereon and developing the electrostatic latent image by a contact developing system to form a toner image. In the triboelectric series relationship between the toner (10) and a surface layer of the image-bearing member (1), the surface layer of the image-bearing member has a charge polarity which is a different polarity with respect to the charge polarity of the toner in the developing unit. Also disclosed is a process cartridge used in the above apparatus, having at least the above image-bearing member and developing unit, and having the above triboelectric series relationship.

An image-forming apparatus and a process cartridge, both comprising an image-bearing member (1) for holding thereon an electrostatic latent image; a charging means (5) for charging the surface of the image-bearing member electrostatically; an exposure unit (6) for forming the electrostatic latent image on the image-bearing member by exposing to light the image-bearing member as charged; a developing unit (3) with at least one toner-carrying member (2) for carrying and transporting a negatively chargeable toner (10) thereon that has toner particles and at least one external additive, for developing the electrostatic latent image by contact developing. Regarding triboelectric series relationship the toner particles, surface layer of the image-bearing member and external additive are thus ordered from the negative side, respectively, while the image-bearing member has a latent image surface potential within a range of -500 V and-800 V, as non-image area potential Vd, and within a range of -50 V and -200 V as image area potential VI for maximum toner image density. Also, the charge polarity of the surface layer of the image-bearing member may be different with respect to that of the toner in the development unit.

Also, the charge polarity of the surface layer of the image-bearing member may be different with respect to that of the toner in the developing unit.
