PURPOSE:To obtain a good-quality image even under environments of low temperature and low humidity by forming a thin layer of a toner specified in composition on a toner carrying member and developing a latent image with this toner. CONSTITUTION:The toner 6 to be used is composed essentially of a colorant, a binder resin, and a compound having a polyoxypropylene group, and forced to move toward the side of a sponge roller 4 with stirring blades 5, transferred to the toner carrying member 2 by rotating the toller 4 in the arrow direction, rubbed, and absorbed electrostatically or physically, and formed into the uniform with toner layer with an elastic blade 3 made of steel, and a triboelectrified at the same time, thus permitting a uniform thin good toner layer to be formed without causing so much variance due to environmental conditions even under low temperature and low humidity. |
