Abstract: A carrier for electrophotography has carrier particles. The carrier has a 50% average particle diameter (D.sub.50) of from 15 .mu.m to 45 .mu.m and contains from 1% to 20% of carrier particles with a size smaller than 22 .mu.m, not more than 3% of carrier particles with a size smaller than 16 .mu.m, from 2% to 15% of carrier particles with a size of 62 .mu.m or larger, and not more than 2% of carrier particles with a size of 88 .mu.m or larger. The carrier has a specific surface area S.sub.1 as measured by an air-permeability method and a specific surface area S.sub.2 as calculated by the following expression:S.sub.2 =(6/.rho..D.sub.50).times.10.sup.4wherein .rho. is a specific gravity of carrier; satisfying the following condition:1.2.ltoreq.S.sub.1 /S.sub.2 .ltoreq.2.0.

Abstract: A developer for developing an electrostatic image has a toner containing a binder resin and a colorant. The binder resin is comprised of an AB-type block copolymer having segment-A and segment-B.The segment-A has a copolymer structure comprised of a styrene monomer and at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of an acrylic monomer, a methacrylic monomer and a diene monomer, and the segment-B has a copolymer structure comprised of a styrene monomer and at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of an acrylic monomer, a methacrylic monomer and a diene monomer, provided that the segment-A and segment-B have copolymer structures different from each other.
