    摘要: An image forming apparatus of the present invention includes a developing device of the type causing a developer to form a magnet brush on the surface of a developer carrier having a magnet roller in a developing region or nip for development. The magnet brush contacts and thereby develops a latent image formed on an image carrier. The magnet roller has a main magnetic pole for development wherein the flux density in the tangential direction has a maximum variation ratio of 40 T/m or above in absolute value. The apparatus of the present invention increases image density and faithfully reproduces even low-contrast images with a low-cost configuration. Further, the apparatus reduces image defects, including granularity and the omission of the trailing edge of an image, even if the range over which the magnet brush and image carrier contact is reduced.

    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.

    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%.

    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.
