摘要:
A carrier for electrophotographic developer comprising carrier particles, each carrier particle having at least one surface-coating layer by resin material, wherein the surface-coating layer containing an acrylic resin and a silicone resin, the acrylic resin is in an amount ranging 10 to 90 wt. % based on the total amount of resin coating ingredients. The carrier shows no accumulation of toner-spents, therefore can obtain a stable electric charge, and has no layer scraping in binder resin layer, therefore can obtain a stable electric resistance, hence occurs no deterioration of images reproduced, by using acrylic resin having high anti-abrasive and high surface energy, whereas it has strong adhesiveness and high fragility, in combination use of silicone resin having poor anti-abrasive and small adhesiveness but has low fragility, thus is hard to cause a toner spent and hard to integrate the spent constituents due to its low surface energy.

The toner for developing a latent electrostatic image to form an image contains a binder resin and 2% by weight to 15% by weight of a coloring agent. The coverage of the toner with the coloring agent on a surface of the toner is 1.5% by atom to 15% by atom. The toner prevents scatterings and toner deposition on the background of images and provides high quality images even after printing several tens of sheets at high temperature and in high humidity.
