<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide conductive toner, functions of which are not inhibited by fracture of irregularly-shaped metal powder in kneading in a process of developing electrophotography or electrostatic printing, and has excellent conductivity as a conductive pattern, as well as a developing method using the conductive toner. <P>SOLUTION: Developer includes both conductive toner and a carrier, the conductive toner having a structure having metal powder dispersed into a thermoplastic resin, and obtained by the dispersion of the metal powder in solution of the thermoplastic resin at normal temperature. The developer is carried on the surface of a developer conveying member to which development bias potential is applied, and conveyed to the surface of an electrostatic latent image carrier. An electrostatic latent image on the electrostatic latent image carrier is developed using the conductive toner. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
