Developer for electrophotography and process for preparation thereof

摘要

A particulate composite developer for electrophotography is disclosed, which has a novel dispersion structure comprising a continuous phase consisting of a homogeneous mixture of a resin and a pigment and a dispersed phase consisting of spherical particles of a soft parting or fixing material having an emulsion grade size and being dispersed in the continuous phase. This particulate developer has in combination improved adaptability to the developing operation, excellent transferring and cleaning properties, good ability to form a sharp image free of fog and good fixing property not causing an offset phenomenon.
