A magnetic toner is formed from a binder resin and silicon-containing magnetic iron oxide particles. The magnetic toner has a weight-average particle size of at most 13.5 .mu.m, and the magnetic toner has a particle size distribution such that magnetic toner particles having a particle size of at least 12.7 .mu.m are contained in an amount of at most 50 wt. %. The magnetic iron oxide particles have a silicon content of 0.4-2.0 wt. % based on iron, and the magnetic iron oxide particles have an Fe/Si atomic ratio of 1.2-4.0 at the utmost surfaces thereof. Because of the use of such magnetic iron oxide particles having a specifically controlled overall and surface Si contents, the magnetic toner can show stable performances even after standing in a high humidity environment.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a member to be charged for carrying an electrostatic image, a contact-charging means for charging the member to be charged in contact with the member to be charged, and a developing means for developing the electrostatic image carried on the member to be charged. The developing means includes a developer for developing the electrostatic image comprising a toner and hydrophobic inorganic fine powder. The hydrophobic inorganic fine powder not only improves the fluidity of the developer and adjusts the chargeability of the developer but also prevents difficulties due to interaction between the member to be charged and the contact charging means in the presence of residual developer, such as damages of the member to be charged and toner-sticking onto the member to be charged.
摘要:
A developer for developing electrostatic latent images is constituted by a toner, and negatively chargeable spherical resin particles having an average particle size of 0.03-1.0 micron and a volume resistivity of 10.sup.6 -10.sup.12 ohm.cm. The toner may comprise toner particles and hydrophobic inorganic fine powder, which is generally used in a larger amount than the negatively chargeable spherical resin particles. The negatively chargeable spherical resin particles function to provide a toner image which is faithful to an electrostatic latent image formed on a photosensitive member while preventing toner-sticking onto the photosensitive member preferably in combination with a contact-charging means for charging the photosensitive member.
