<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developer for suppressing image degradation due to residual toner after transfer while enabling an apparatus to be made compact, an image forming method and an image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: In the developer, a carrier is a ferrite carrier coated with a silicone resin and the following relationship is satisfied: log(ΔQ(t)/Q<SB>∞</SB>)=-k<SB>ob</SB>tΔQ(t)=Q<SB>∞</SB>-Q(t), wherein Q(t) is a charge quantity (μC/g) of the developer after t sec which is a stirring time of a toner and the carrier; Q<SB>∞</SB>is a saturated charge quantity (μC/g) of the developer; k<SB>ob</SB>is a chargeable speed of the developer and the k<SB>ob</SB>of the developer is in a range of -2.5≤LOGk<SB>ob</SB>≤-1. The image forming method and the image forming apparatus are also provided. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
