A developing method includes the steps of opposing a developer carrying member to an image bearing member, the developing carrying member carrying a developer to the image bearing member for bearing an electrostatic image, supplying, to the developer carrying member, insulative one component developer having a weight average particle size of 4-8 microns, forming, between the image bearing member and the developer carrying member, an alternating electric field having a back-transfer period, transfer period and rest period, wherein a blank ratio of a sum of (i) the back-transfer period plus (ii) the transfer period and the rest period, during a developing operation, is 5:1-2:1.
摘要:
A bias voltage including an AC voltage component is applied to a development sleeve. When the development sleeve opposes a non-image region of a photosensitive drum, a reference bias voltage including a constant current AC voltage component or a reference bias voltage including a constant voltage AC voltage component is applied to the development sleeve, and an AC voltage value or an AC current value applied to the development sleeve at that time is detected. An image formation factor is controlled on the basis of the detected AC voltage value or the detected AC current value.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus which can prevent the electric discharge when the trailing edge of a recording material passes a transferring position, and yet can stabilize the surface potential of a photosensitive drum. A controller changes a transfer bias voltage Vt during the supply of paper to 0 V before the trailing edge of recording paper arrives at a transferring nip part, changes it to a transfer bias voltage V0 during the non-supply of paper after the trailing edge of the recording paper has passed the transferring nip part, and changes a charging bias voltage to a charging bias voltage smaller than a normal charging bias voltage when an area on the photosensitive drum to which 0 V has been applied passes a charging nip portion. The transfer bias voltage V0 during the non-supply of paper is smaller than the transfer bias voltage Vt during the supply of paper.
