PURPOSE:To enable triboelectric charging by stirring by microencapsulating a photosensitive resin which is solid at a specified temp. and a color source developing its color by a reaction with a developing material. CONSTITUTION:A photosensitive toner 100 has a core-shell structure and the core 300 contained in the shell 200 consists of a photosensitive resin which is solid at <=30 deg.C and a color source developing its color by a reaction with a developing material. When the photosensitive toner 100 is combined with a developing toner which reacts with the color source in the toner 100 to allow the color source to develop its color, an image is formed on an arbitrary recording medium. Since the strength of the photosensitive toner 100 is high, triboelectric charging by stirring is enabled and the charging mechanism of the toner is simplified. The reliability of an image forming device can be enhanced and the cost of the device can be reduced. |
