摘要:
A toner for electrophotography, comprising toner particles and an additive, is obtained by mixing toners A and B together which are obtained by respectively adding the additive to each of at least two toner particle groups (a) and (b) having different particle size distributions. The average particle size of the toner particle group (a) is smaller than that of the toner particle group (b), and the amount of additive in the toner A is larger than that in the toner B. The toner reduces the differences in development conditions between different particle sizes due to broadening of toner particle size distribution, thereby enabling a stable image quality to be obtained which maintains a high image density for an extended period of time and is relatively free from fog generation in non-image portions.

A developing device for an image forming apparatus such as a copying machine, a printer, or the like to develop an electrostatic latent image on an image carrier includes a toner carrier which moves while carrying a toner on its surface, and a regulating member for regulating the amount of toner on the toner carrier by applying a moving force to the toner in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the toner carrier. In a regulating portion defined by the regulating member, a convey force received by a toner portion, which does not contact the surface of the toner carrier, from the regulating member is larger than a convey force received from the toner carrier.

A developing device including a developing agent container for storing a developing agent composed of toner particles and magnetic carrier particles, a toner carrier for carrying and conveying the toner particles to supply the toner particles to an image carrier for carrying an electrostatic image, and a developing agent regulating rotary member, disposed adjacent the toner carrier with a gap therebetween, for forming a brush of the magnetic carrier particles by a magnetic force between itself and the toner carrier. The regulating rotary member allows only the toner to pass therethrough without substantially allowing passage of the carrier.

A stationary magnet is disposed in a developing sleeve for carrying a one component magnetic developer. A regulating sleeve for regulating a layer of the developer is disposed opposed to the developing sleeve. The regulating sleeve rotates in the same direction as the developing sleeve. In the regulating sleeve, there is disposed a magnet or magnetic member cooperative with the stationary magnet to form a magnetic field in a gap between the developing sleeve and the regulating sleeve.

A color image forming apparatus forms an image using a deep toner and a pale toner at least for one color such that the pale toner is used to form an image in a high lightness area, and the pale toner and the deep toner are used in combination to form the image in a half tone area. A toner kit has a deep toner and a pale toner which are separated from each other. A method for forming an image uses the color image forming apparatus, the toner kit, and the deep toner and the pale toner. A high quality image can be formed while inhibiting graininess and roughness over a broad image area.

Provided is an image forming apparatus for forming a toner image including: a first light source emitting a beam corresponding to image information; a first photosensitive member; a first developing means for developing a latent image with a first toner; a second light source; a second photosensitive member; and a second developing means for developing a latent image with a second toner, in which the coloring agent contained in the first toner and the coloring agent contained in the second toner are substantially of the same hue, with the content of the coloring agent contained in the second toner being smaller than the content of the coloring agent contained in the first toner, and in which an oscillation wavelength of at least the first light source ranges from 370 to 500 nm. With the image forming apparatus structured as described above, an improvement in terms of granularity is achieved.
摘要:
An electrophotographic apparatus includes a decreasing device for decreasing the potential difference between the potential of the toner-adhering portion of the photosensitive body and the potential of the toner-nonadhering portion of the photosensitive body after the development by a developing device and before the transfer by a transferring device. The potential of the toner-nonadhering portion is maintained higher than the potential of the toner-adhering portion regardless of a decrease of the potential difference.
摘要:
An image heating apparatus for allowing a surface of a heated toner image borne on a recording material to be glossed without generating a batter in the heated toner image is provided. In an image heating apparatus (9) including heating means (11 and 12) for heating an unfixed toner image (ta) borne on a recording material (P) and pressure means (21 and 22) for pressurizing an unfixed toner image (tb) heated by the heating means to gloss a surface of the unfixed toner image, the pressure means includes: pressure force changing means (54L and 54R) for changing a pressure force when the pressure means pressurizes the unfixed toner image; temperature detecting means (51 and 52) for detecting a temperature of the pressure means; and pressurization control means (53). The pressurization control means controls the pressure changing means according to temperature information of the temperature detecting means to change the pressure force of the pressure means before the pressure means pressurizes the unfixed toner image.
