摘要： An infiltration amount measuring unit is provided to measure the amount of carrier liquid infiltrated in recording paper. An output signal of the infiltration amount measuring unit is input to a control device to be used to calculate a voltage supplied to a heat source (heater) in a pre-fixing unit. A signal of a paper temperature measuring unit is input to the control device, which determines whether a target temperature is reached. The control device estimates the amount of carrier liquid in a toner layer based on the information from the infiltration amount measuring unit. Then, the pre-fixing unit is controlled such that the amount of carrier liquid in the toner layer falls within an appropriate range, based on the estimation result of the amount of carrier liquid.

摘要： Provided is a development device and an image forming apparatus both using a hybrid development method and capable of forming high quality images without occurrence of development hysteresis (ghost). The nip portion of the toner carrier and the developer carrier is configured as follows: the rotating direction of a toner carrier and a developer carrier are in counter directions; a magnetic pole facing the toner carrier is positioned on the upstream side in the developer carrier rotating direction; and a counter charge generated by the toner supply reaches a toner recovering portion without being considerably attenuated.
