Abstract: A resin coated carrier for developing an electrostatic image is disclosed. The carrier coating layer comprises a resin copolymerized of at least three fluorinated vinyl monomers. The carrier is useful for developing a negative charged electrostatic image formed on an organic photoreceptor.

Abstract: A developer for electrophotography is disclosed. The developer comprises a carrier comprising magnetic particles being coated with a fluororesin in which an alkali salt of a fatty acid is contained in an amount of from 0.05 to 0.5% by weight of said carrier, and a toner comprising a colored particle comprising a colorant and a reaction product of a styrene-acryl copolymer having carboxyl groups with a multivalent metal compound, and an inorganic particle containing an ammonium salt-modified polysiloxane. The developer is excellent in the reproducibility of fine line, the density uniformity of solid image and the fine line-reproducibility in copies formed by successive generations and the durability.

Abstract: An electrostatic latent image developer that is composed of at least three components, toner resin particles containing at least a colorant, carrier particles and fine inorganic particles is disclosed. The improved feature of the developer is that said toner resin particles contain a resin crosslinked with a divalent metal or metals of higher valency and that said fine inorganic particles are surface-treated with an ionic silicone compound.

Abstract: A method for forming an electrophotographic image, comprising forming an electrostatic latent image on a latent image carrier, developing said latent image with a developer to form a toner image, transferring said toner image on a recording material, and fixing the toner image with a heat roller, is disclosed. The method is characterized by:1) said developer comprises an inorganic fine particle having pH of not lower than 7.0, and2) a resin coating layer containing carbon black is provided on said heat roller, and is grounded.
