摘要:
A carrier for electrophotography has carrier particles. The carrier has a 50% average particle diameter (D.sub.50) of from 15 .mu.m to 45 .mu.m and contains from 1% to 20% of carrier particles with a size smaller than 22 .mu.m, not more than 3% of carrier particles with a size smaller than 16 .mu.m, from 2% to 15% of carrier particles with a size of 62 .mu.m or larger, and not more than 2% of carrier particles with a size of 88 .mu.m or larger. The carrier has a specific surface area S.sub.1 as measured by an air-permeability method and a specific surface area S.sub.2 as calculated by the following expression: S.sub.2 =(6/.rho..multidot.D.sub.50).times.10.sup.4 wherein .rho. is a specific gravity of carrier; satisfying the following condition: 1.2 .ltoreq.S.sub.1 /S.sub.2 .ltoreq.2.0.

摘要:
A color toner for developing an electrostatic image contains a binder resin and a colorant. The color toner has a weight average particle diameter of from 3 .mu.m to 7 .mu.m. The color toner contains from 10% to 70% by number of color toner particles with a particle diameter of 4.00 .mu.m or smaller, not less than 40% by number of color toner particles with a particle diameter of 5.04 .mu.m or smaller, from 2% to 20% by volume of color toner particles with a particle diameter of 8.00 .mu.m or larger, and not more than 6% by volume of color toner particles with a particle diameter of 10.08 .mu.m or larger. The color toner has such a coloring power that an image having been fixed on a transfer medium has an image density (D.sub.0.5) of from 1.0 to 1.8 when an unfixed color toner on the transfer medium is in a quantity (M/S) of 0.50 mg/cm.sup.2.
