This powder developer consists of a mixture of toner with an average particle size of 15 μm, which is made by dispersing colorants, charge control agents, fluidizing agents, etc. in natural or synthetic resin, and a carrier of iron powder and ferrite powder with a diameter of 100 to 20 μm. Developers can be roughly divided into two-component developers and one-component developers, which are composed of a natural or synthetic resin, a colorant, a charge control agent, a fluidizing agent, and a magnetic material.

A two-component developer achieves development by attaching charged toner to an electrostatic latent image through friction with a carrier. Conventionally, a one-component developer uses a toner instead of a carrier. Toners that are charged by friction with brush-like or plate-like friction members that have a similar function are known, and recently, magnetic fine powder is kept in a dispersed state and the magnetic differential It has become known that toner is charged by mutual friction with particles. These developing toners are kept positively or negatively charged depending on the polarity of the electrostatic latent image to be developed.

In order to keep the toner charged, it has been proposed to utilize the triboelectricity of the resin, which is the main component of the toner, but this method has a small charge on the toner and a large solid surface resistance value, so The resulting image is prone to fogging and becomes unclear. Therefore, in order to impart the desired triboelectricity to the toner,
Dyes, pigments, and even charge control agents that impart a charge are added to the toner, and the ones currently in practical use in this technical field are particularly effective when imparting a positive charge to the toner. There are nigrosine-based oil-soluble dyes as shown in Publication No. 41-2427, etc., and those that impart a negative charge include
There are metal-containing complex dyes such as those shown in Japanese Patent No. 26478.

However, these dyes and pigments used as charge control agents have complex structures and lack stability, and are susceptible to decomposition or deterioration due to, for example, mechanical friction and impact, changes in temperature and humidity conditions, electrical impact, and light irradiation. charge controllability is likely to be lost. Moreover, one essential defect is that since it is a colored substance, it violates the requirement that a charge control agent that can be considered colorless or substantially colorless is required for toner having a specific hue.
