<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developing apparatus and an image forming apparatus equipped therewith capable of restraining temperature rise and maintaining high image quality and stable density. <P>SOLUTION: The developing apparatus 2 for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on an electrostatic latent image carrier 1 with developer is provided with a plurality of developer carriers 20 and 30 for carrying developer. By arranging a plurality of developer carriers 20 and 30 in a proximate state and making the heat capacity of the most downstream developer carrier 30 larger than that of the most upstream developer carrier 20, the temperature rise is restrained. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
