A developing device includes a developer carrier that carries a developer and a developer restricting member that restricts a layer thickness of the developer on the developer carrier. The developer carrier carries the developer in such a manner that a thickness Tup of a layer of the developer when the layer passes through the developer restricting member and a gap Gd between the developer restricting member and the developer carrier satisfy an inequality 7

摘要:
A developing device for an image forming apparatus includes a developing roller for conveying toner deposited thereon to a developing region where it faces a photoconductive element. A magnet brush roller conveys a two-ingredient type developer, which consists of toner and magnetic particles, deposited thereto to a toner supplying region where it faces the developing roller. In the toner supplying region, only the toner is supplied from the magnet brush roller to the developing roller. The distribution of the number of toner particles for an amount of charge differs from the developing roller to the magnet brush roller.
摘要:
The development is performed under a condition that |Q2|−|Q1|/|Q1≦±0.45. Here, Q1 denotes an average amount of charge on toner held on a development roller and carried toward a development region immediately before development. Q2 denotes an average amount of charge on toner immediately before development held and carried toward the development region in the state immediately after development of an electrostatic latent image on a development drum. This is effective to allow the amount of charge q/m on toner held on the development roller to have a variation rate of 45% or below and an afterimage rate R within 2%.

Monocolor image forming unit includes a developing device and an image carrier cleaning device arranged around an image carrier. A plurality of such the monocolor image forming unit is arrayed laterally along the rotary transport direction of an intermediate transfer member of the belt type to configure a tandem image forming device. In the tandem image forming device, a synthesized toner image is formed on the intermediate transfer member and transferred to a recording medium to form a multicolor image thereon. Among the plurality of monocolor image forming unit contained in the tandem image forming device, at least two monocolor image forming unit each include a toner recycling device for conveying toner collected at the image carrier cleaning device to the developing device.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes an image carrier made up of a conductive base and photoconductive layer and a toner carrier to which a bias for development is applied. The toner carrier conveys toner deposited thereon to a developing position where the toner carrier faces the image carrier, thereby developing a latent image formed on the image carrier. The apparatus effects low-voltage development that protects the image carrier from electrostatic fatigue, obviates background contamination, and realizes image density as high as 0.5 ×10−3 g/cm2 or above in terms of the amount of toner deposition. Further, the apparatus implements faithful development of the latent image by reducing the edge effect. An image forming process unit removable from the apparatus is also disclosed.

摘要:
An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes a bias power supply for applying a bias VB to a developer carrier on which a developer is deposited. A charge potential deposited on an image carrier, which faces the developer carrier for forming a latent image thereon, is 400 V or below in absolute value. Assume that the potential of the image carrier is lowered to VL after exposure, that a development potential is |VB−VL|, that the maximum set value of the development potential for development is |VB−VL|max, and that the development potential varies in a range satisfying relations: |VB−VL|≦|VB−VL|max+|VB−VL|max×0.2 |VB−VL|≧|VB−VL|max−|VB−VL|max×0.2 |VB−VL|max≦300 V Then image density varies by a width of 10% of image density corresponding to the maximum set value of the development potential or less.
