In a first embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of electrode portions are contactably and approachably disposed on an electrostatic latent image holding member in order to equalize a toner image of an electrostatic latent image holding member. In a second embodiment, an elastic foaming apparatus is contactably or approachably disposed to the electrostatic latent image holding member in order to equalize the residual toner distribution on the electrostatic latent image holding member. In a third embodiment, an equalization member consisting of an electric conductor or a resistor is contactably and approachably disposed on the electrostatic latent image holding member in order to equalize the distribution of toner of the transfer residual toner image. An AC electric field may be generated between the equalization member and the electrostatic latent image holding member.

A developing device effects desirable development when the amount of charging of toner, q (C/g), the amount of toner deposited on the surface of a developing roller per unit area, m (g/cm.sup.2), the speed of movement of the surface of the developing roller, v (cm/sec), the available length of the developing roller, l (cm), and the magnitude of electric resistance between the surface of the developing roller and a power source for developing bias, R (.OMEGA.), are adjusted so as to satisfy the formula, .vertline.q.vertline.m.ltoreq.100/vlR. The developing device produces a developed image desirable in quality and free from background fogging when the magnitude of a developing electric current, I (A), is adjusted so as to satisfy the formula, R.ltoreq.200/I. Further, when a charging device, an electrostatic latent image forming device, a transfer device, a cleaning device, a discharge device, a charging and cleaning device, an electrostatic latent image forming and cleaning device, a developing and cleaning device, or a discharging and cleaning device is provided with an elastic electroconductive roller composed of an elastic roller base and a flexible conductor layer, the device is allowed to decrease size and lower price, curb the decline of capacity due to protracted use, and preclude the occurrence of dispersion of characteristic, efficiency, or performance.

A transfer device for transferring a toner image on an image carrier onto a transfer material, including a transfer drum, a supporting device for the transfer material in place on the surface of the transfer drum and an electrode for applying a bias voltage to an electroconductive layer of the transfer drum. The transfer drum includes a rotatably supported drum member, a flexible elastomer layer on the peripheral surface of the drum member, and an electroconductive layer on the elastomer layer. The elastomer layer of the transfer drum is made of a foaming elastomer such as a polyurethane foam so that the transfer material is in contact with the toner image on the image carrier under a small amount of pressure and with an ample contact width.

On the surface of a developing roller disposed closely to a photosensitive drum, a toner supplied from a toner container to the surface is spread into a thin layer by a toner distribution and charging blade. The triboelectric charge, q.sub.1, of the toner and the triboelectric charge, q.sub.2, of the surface of the toner distribution and charging blade are equalized in polarity and made to satisfy a relation, .vertline.q.sub.2 .vertline.
摘要:
A toner is formed of toner particles including a polyester resin as a principal component, and at least a colorant and a charge control agent, and externally added inorganic fine particles and organic fine particles. The toner has a volume-average diameter of 4 to 10 μm, contains the charge control agent at 0.1 to 1.5%, and has an acid value of 2 to 33 mgKOH/g. The charge control agent exhibits a number-basis isolation percentage of at most 10% with respect to the toner particle. The charge control agent, the inorganic fine particles and organic fine particles exhibit number-basis isolation percentages from the toner particles satisfying a following relationship: 30%>inorganic fine particles>organic fine particles>charge control agent>0%.

An erasable image forming material includes a color former, a developer, a binder resin, and a polymer decolorizer having an electron donating group capable of physically or chemically adsorbing the developer. This polymer decolorizer is, e.g., a polymer compound having a sugar skeleton, representatively starch. This image forming material can form sharp images and erase images by heat or a solvent to achieve a good erased state.
