PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus and a processing cartridge which coordinate toner polarity in an electrifying section and recovers developer in a developing section even with an inexpensive structure, and output a satisfactory image free of a re-transfer ghost. SOLUTION: A developer carrier is capable of recovering residual developer from an image carrier 1 while a development operation is performed. The direction of the movement of the developer carrier is the reverse of the direction of the movement of the image carrier 1 in a development position. An electrifying means has an electrifying member 2 capable of contacting with the image carrier 1. The electrifying member 2 has a residual-developer electrifying member 13 which slides over the electrifying means. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
