IMAGE FORMING METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE:To stably form a visible image which has a high image density without fogging by using a toner added to and mixed with pulverized fluidizing agent particles and fatty acid metal salt. CONSTITUTION:An electrostatic charge image is formed on a photosensitive body constituted by providing an org. photoconductive photosensitive layer contg. a binder resin having >=25dyne/cm critical surface tension on a conductive base. The electrostatic charge image is developed by the toner which is prepd. by adding and mixing the pulverized fluidizing agent particles having >=20mmu average grain size of the primary particles and the fatty acid metal salt to and with said toner and has >=0.35g/cm<3> apparent bulk density and the resulted toner image is transferred to a transfer material such as paper. The optimum polishing effect and good development performance for the photosensitive body are obtd. by the pulverized fluidizing agent particles and the stable frictional chargeability of the toner is obtd. by the fatty acid metal salt. The visible image which has the high image density without having image flow and fogging is thus stably formed even if the image forming process is executed many times and repeatedly.
