摘要:
In a developing apparatus, the developing apparatus includes a developer carrying member which carries a developer and has elasticity, and a developer regulating member which regulates an amount of the developer carried on the developer carrying member, the developer regulating member having a supported part supported by a support member and a contact part which is in contact with the developer carrying member, in which the contact part has a ten point average surface roughness of larger than 2.0 μm and a maximum height surface roughness of smaller than an average particle diameter of the developer. Therefore, an amount of the developer carried on the developer carrying member can be regulated to be uniform.

摘要:
A developer regulation member includes developer regulation means for regulating an amount of developer carried on a developer carrying member. The developer regulation means includes a first regulation portion formed of a first material which has a Shore D hardness of not less than 70 degrees or is metal, and a second regulation portion which is disposed opposite to the developer carrying member and is formed of a material different from the first material for the first regulation portion. The second regulation portion has an edge which is in contact with the developer carrying member.

There are provided an image forming apparatus, process cartridge, and storage medium which, if an image forming stop factor occurs in a cartridge of a certain color, enable image forming using a cartridge of another color and can increase the utilization efficiency and operability of the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus has a plurality of detachable process cartridges (8M, 8C, 8Y, 8K) including image carriers (photosensitive drums: 9M, 9C, 9Y, 9K) on which latent images are to be formed and developing units (12M, 12C, 12Y, 12K) which develop the latent images. When a replacement timing for at least one of the process cartridges has come, only the developing unit of the process cartridge (8K) whose replacement timing has not come is driven in accordance with the state of the cartridge whose replacement timing has come to perform image forming.

摘要:
A plurality of cleaning blades are provided for removing remaining developer on an electrophotographic photosensitive body used for an image forming apparatus. The cleaning blades include an abutment portion that abuts on the electrophotographic photosensitive body, and lubricant including insulating particles and conductive particles coating the abutment portion. The particle size of each of the insulating particles at D50 by a volume regarded as a reference lies in a range of 0.2 to 1.0 μm and the particle size of each of the conductive particles at D50 by a volume regarded as a reference lies in a range of 0.4 to 4.0 μm, D50 being defined by the integration of volumes of particles calculated from a smaller particle size side that reaches 50% relative to a total integration thereof.
摘要:
The invention provides a developer carrying member for carrying a developer for developing an electrostatic image formed on an image bearing member, including an elastic layer, and a surface layer provided on a surface of the developer carrying member and including a resin and particles, wherein the particles have a property of being frictionally charged in a polarity opposite to a normal charging polarity of the developer, and the particles are exposed from the surface in an area rate within a range from 15 to 60% with respect to a surface area of the developer carrying member. In this manner, an uneven heating of the toner image can be suppressed even if the recording material generates an undulation after passing a nip.
