Image forming method

摘要

An image forming method wherein a developer layer formed by a layer forming material and supported on a developer supporting body is used to develop an electrostatic latent image on an electrostatic latent image supporting body, thereby forming an image. In the method, the direction of rotation of the developer supporting body is the same as that of the electrostatic latent image supporting body, the ratio of peripheral speed of the developer supporting body to the electrostatic latent image supporting body ranges from 0.7 to 1.8, the developer is composed of a carrier and a toner, and the toner contains a conductive inorganic fine powder. The method is useful for making an amount of static electrification of the toner suitable and stabilizing the same.
