<p>The present invention is directed to a non-contact, single-component developing system for electrophotographic machines that effectively reduces the impact of adhesion forces on the development process. The developing system of the present invention utilizes a single component toner (200) that tends to reduce the adhesion forces that hold the toner particles (200) on a toner support me mber. Preferably, the toner (200) is combined with large and small silica particles (201, 202) having a concentration by weight that results in an optimum surface coverage of toner particles (200) by large and small silica particles (201, 202) that facilitates a reduction in the adhesion forces holding the toner particles (200) on the toner support member.</p> |
