A method of developing electrostatic latent images.

摘要

For developing electrostatic latent images formed on electrostatic latent image-carrying members (1) with a developer (2) comprising a magnetic carrier and a toner in a non-contact manner under application of an oscillating electric field to a development region, the surface of said magnetic carrier is covered with an insulating material, and magnetization (M) of said magnetic carrier when measured under application of a magnetic field of 1000 Oersted and weight average particle diameter (R) of the same expressed in terms of micro meter are to satisfy the following relation:

    30 </= M </= - 0.8R + 150
    (wherein 10 </= R </= 150).
