Abstract: A toner for electrophotography containing at least a fixing resin, a coloring agent and a wax is a toner containing rice wax and carnauba wax as the wax constitutional component thereof. A cleaning unit employs the blade cleaning mode; and for the purposes of keeping the performance of the cleaning unit and preventing the generation of printing failure. The toner has a relationship between a charge amount X (i.e., an absolute value of charge amount of the toner, ?C/g) and a deposition amount Y (mg/cm2) satisfied with the following expression (1) or (2): X?21 ??(1) X>21 and Y??0.0329X+1.

Abstract: An image formation system is configured by connecting two or more image formation devices. The system includes a fixing device fixing an unfixed development image to a record medium and a charge elimination device eliminating a charge of the record medium in an inlet of the fixing device of the second or later image formation device.

Abstract: An electrostatic recording apparatus including: an image carrier including an organic photoconductive photoreceptor having an abrasion-resisting outermost periphery; an exposing unit which exposes the image carrier to form an electrostatic latent image thereon; a developing unit which contains a toner and develops the electrostatic latent image with the toner to form a toner image; a transferring unit which transfers the toner image thus formed onto a recording medium; and a fixing unit which fixes the transferred toner image on said recording medium, wherein the toner contained in said developing unit includes an electrically conductive fine powder attached to the surface thereof.

Abstract: A uniform image is obtained by matching the sliding friction force, the moving speed and the developing agent in a developing region of two developing rollers and an electric characteristic of a photosensitive body used for image development. Two developing rollers rotating in directions opposite to each other are used, the moving direction of the first developing roller being opposite to the moving direction of the photosensitive body, and a circumferential speed ratio of a circumferential speed of the first developing roller to a circumferential speed of the photosensitive body is within a rage of 0.5 to 2.5; and the moving direction of the second developing roller is equal to the moving direction of the photosensitive body, and a circumferential speed ratio of a circumferential speed of the second developing roller to a circumferential speed of the photosensitive body is within a range of 1.5 to 3.5.
