Abstract: A process for the preparation of developer compositions which comprises (1) providing carrier particles consisting of a core with a coating thereover; (2) introducing the carrier particles into a blending apparatus; (3) adding to the blending apparatus fine toner particles with a diameter of from about 2 microns to about 10 microns, said particles being comprised of toner resin particles, pigment particles, and a charge enhancing additive; (4) affecting blending for a period of time sufficient to enable the classified toner particles to alter the tribogenerating ability of the surface of the carrier particles and become embedded therein; (5) subsequently adding to the resulting blended mixture toner particles of a diameter of from about 2 to about 18 microns, and comprised of toner resin particles, pigment particles, and a charge enhancing additive; and (6) blending for a period of form about 1 minute to about 5 minutes.
