摘要:
Disclosed is a ferrite carrier for a two-component type developer, characterized in that the internal pore ratio, based on the area, of carrier particles is adjusted to 3 to 30%, the electric resistance is adjusted within a certain range, and the developing electric field dependency indicating the change ratio of the electric resistance of the particles caused when the electric field is changed is controlled within a specific range. This carrier has a good durability, and when a two-component developer comprising this ferrite carrier is used, there can be obtained a high-quality image in which a solid image area and a fine line image area are clearly reproduced.

A cartridge discriminating system, a toner housing cartridge adapted for use in such a system and an image forming apparatus provided with such a system, wherein a cartridge indicating means (6) is provided on a part of the toner housing cartridge (1), and an indication detecting means (8) for detecting said cartridge indicating means (6) is provided on the image forming apparatus for detecting the type or position of the cartridge inserted in the image forming apparatus.
摘要:
Disclosed is a carrier for a two-component developer, which comprises specific sintered ferrite particles obtained by modifying ferrite customarily used for a carrier, and which can provide a copied image having a high quality, especially an excellent gradation, while maintaining a high durability of the carrier. This carrier comprises sintered ferrite particles having an internal pore ratio, based on the area, of 3 to 20% in an amount of 50 to 80% by weight based on the entire carrier, and the developing voltage dependency of the electric resistance of the carrier is reduced and controlled to an appropriate level.

摘要:
Disclosed is a toner for the electrophotography, which comprises as a main component a styrene/acrylic copolymer having at least two molecular weight distribution peaks, the molecular weight (Mw) of the peak on the lowest molecular weight side being lower than 13000, wherein the toner contains a charge controlling agent dispersed therein at a concentration of at least 0.3% by weight and the charge controlling agent has such a particle size distribution that the area ratio of particles having a particle size larger than 2.5 µm is at least 80% based on the section of the toner. If this toner is used, the fixing-possible temperature can be broadened while increasing the fixing ratio without reduction of the performances of the toner.
