PURPOSE: A supply carrier, a supply developer, a supply developer cartridge, and an image forming apparatus are provided to obtain an image with the controlled surface roughness when applying to the image forming apparatus. CONSTITUTION: A supply carrier is capable of using for a supply developer of a trickle development method for developing a latent image on a latent image retaining body. The supply carrier includes an assembled particle(340) formed with core materials(312,322), and combination particles(310,320) including resin layers(314,324) to cover the core material. The average particle diameter of the carrier is 50~300 micrometers. |
