IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS AND PROCESS CARTRIDGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress toner adhesion on an image carrier surface without installing a lubricant application mechanism, in an image formation apparatus that develops an electrostatic latent image through a non-contact one-component AC development method using a toner including crystalline polyester.SOLUTION: Through a non-contact one-component AC development method using a toner including crystalline polyester, an image formation apparatus develops an image on an image carrier by the toner. Lubricant particles are disposed on a surface of the image carrier or on a vicinity of the surface thereof.
