The developer used in these methods is a thermoplastic resin such as styrene resin or acrylic resin containing a pigment such as carbon as a coloring agent and a metal-containing azo dye as a charge control agent.
Generally, the particles were crushed and classified to a size of about 10 μm. In particular, JP-A-1987-
In the method disclosed in No. 111358, a voltage is applied to the regulating member as a means of imparting charge to the developer, and the charge is injected into the developer by the electric field between it and the carrier. Because a developer of 100% was used, it was not possible to easily charge the battery. That is, in order to give the developer the necessary charge, it is necessary to apply a high voltage to the regulating member, but discharge occurs between the carrier and the regulating member.
The developer was insufficiently charged. For this reason, there have been problems in that the copied image may be foggy or underdeveloped, making it impossible to obtain a clear image.

In general, ferroelectric materials are added by dispersing them in a binder using a kneader in the same way as colorants, or by using binders and colorants obtained through kneading, pulverization, and classification. There are two methods that can be used: adding the ferroelectric material to the surface of the developer particles using a mixer. This is particularly advantageous because the amount of addition can be reduced. Therefore, this method is preferably employed in the present invention.

The amount added is preferably in the range of 0.1% by weight to 2.0% by weight. The reason for this is that if the amount is less than 0.1% by weight, the addition of the ferroelectric material will have no effect, while if it exceeds 2.0% by weight, the specific resistance of the developer will become low, resulting in poor transfer.
