PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developer carrier by which an excellent image is obtained by preventing an image forming device from being soiled because of the leakage of developer even when printing speed gets higher in the electrophotographic or electrostatic recording image forming device. SOLUTION: This developer carrier carries the developer on its surface so as to form the thin film of the developer, and supplies the developer to the surface of an image forming body while coming into contact with or coming close to the image forming body, whereby a visible image is formed. As for the developer carrier, an elastic body layer is formed on the outer periphery of a core body, and an inorganic compound whose coefficient of thermal conductivity is >=2.0 W/m×K is dispersed in the elastic body, whereby the thermal conductivity of the elastic body layer is improved. |
