ELECTROSTATIC LATENT IMAGE DEVELOPER, METHOD FOR FORMING IMAGE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

An electrostatic latent image developer contains a toner having a volume-average particle diameter of about 2.0μm to about 6.5μm, and a carrier whose average magnetization per carrier particle at an applied magnetic field of 1 kilooersted is about 3.0×10−16 Am2/particle to about 3.0×10−15 Am2/particle, wherein the electrostatic latent image developer is used in an image forming apparatus including an image-carrying member having a top surface layer composed of a cured film containing fluorocarbon resin particles, a developing unit that develops an electrostatic latent image formed on the image-carrying member to form a toner image by bringing a magnetic brush formed of the electrostatic latent image developer and having a brush roughness of about 300μm to about 850μm into contact with the image-carrying member, and a cleaning unit that includes a cleaning blade.
