PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus improved in factors which make design of charging characteristics of toner difficult. SOLUTION: The surface of a roller provided on an image carrying body is made of a high water-repellent member showing≥90°contact angle measured by using pure water. The toner to be used for the image carrying body has a capsule structure comprising a core and a shell resin surrounding the core. The core comprises a resin having≤60°C glass transition temperature and easily melting by heat, while the shell comprises a resin having the glass transition temperature higher than the above resin and easily melting by heat. Thus, the capsule structure toner having stable electric resistance can be combined with the roller free from sticking of toner. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
