<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a low-cost developer container which stably prevents image density from being locally reduced even when the entire replenishment developer is not dispersed uniformly. <P>SOLUTION: In production of the developer container 13 filled with developer, which has a pouch portion 13a for containing the replenishment developer Tp comprising a toner and a carrier, and a cap member for discharging the replenishment developer Tp from the inside to the outside of the pouch portion 13a, and which is mounted on a developer replenishing device that conveys the replenishment developer discharged from the cap member to a developing device, the toner and the carrier are mixed together to produce a pre-mixed developer TC<SB>0</SB>that has a carrier weight ratio lower than that of an initial developer filled into the developing device in the early stages, and the pouch portion is filled with the pre-mixed developer and the single toner T0 separately. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
