    摘要: Methods for development of an electrostatic image are disclosed that utilize developer compositions with hard magnetic carrier compositions which can provide improved development efficiencies and reduced amounts of image carrier pick-up. The methods utilize hard magnetic carrier particles that are modified to have specific levels of resistivity, such as, for example, of from about 1×105 ohm-cm to about 1×1010 ohm-cm, and a carrier charge-to-mass of greater than about 1.0 &mgr;C/g, which carriers can provide greater development speeds without unacceptable levels of image carrier pick-up. In embodiments, the hard magnetic materials are doped, i.e., bulk substituted, with multi-valent metals to adjust resistivity, while in other embodiments, the hard magnetic materials are coated with at least one multi-valent metal oxide.
