写物が得られる。(Prior Art) In an image forming device such as an electrophotographic copying machine, a developer containing a binder resin and a coloring agent is generally used as a developer for visualizing an electrostatic latent image formed on a photoreceptor using a dry development method. A fine toner consisting of additives is used. The toner obtains a desired charge by friction with the friction member, and is developed by adhering to the electrostatic latent image formed on the photoreceptor through charging and exposure steps. The obtained toner image is transferred to a support such as transfer paper, and then fixed onto the support by a fixing means. In this way, a copy of the original is obtained.

に満足できるものではなかった。Conventionally, the particle size has been reduced to 1 for the purpose of making the image density of copies uniform.
Toner particles of about 0 μm are used. (B) Even if toner with such a uniform particle size is used, the particle size of the toner is low, and the shape and fluidity of the toner particles are low. Due to variations in charging characteristics and other factors, toner images formed by dry development methods have problems in that the solid image portions are non-uniform and have poor graininess. In order to solve this problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-284363
In the publication, we focused on the correlation between toner particle size and fluidity,
It has been proposed to use toner with a degree of cohesion of 1.5 or less. Cohesion degree refers to the ratio of the average particle size of the toner particles resulting from free fall from the toner cloud to the average particle size of the toner used (cohesion degree = cloud average particle size / average particle size of the toner used). diameter). However, the degree of cohesion is 1.5
Even when the following toners were used, the uniformity of the image density was not sufficient, and the image density was uneven, especially in the intermediate tones, and was not fully satisfactory.

一にする。(Function) The reason why the overall physical properties of the toner as a developer in a triboelectrically charged state, rather than the physical properties of the toner alone, influences the image characteristics is presumed to be as follows. Toner has
Contains various additives such as colorants and charge control agents. Therefore, when the toner and the friction member are frictionally charged, the toner may be charged to the opposite polarity depending on the type of Pj friction member used. These toners charged with opposite polarities adhere to each other and aggregate to form coarse particles. Therefore, even if the toner alone has a uniform particle size, depending on the type of friction member used, the developer may contain coarse toner particles, which may cause the final image to be uneven. do.

本発明が完或された。This was confirmed by measuring the charge distribution of the toner in a state where the fine particle toner and the friction member were frictionally charged, and by examining the correlation between the charge distribution of the toner and the uniformity of the solid image area. . Based on this, the present invention was completed by focusing on the charging characteristics of toner and evaluating not only the toner itself but also the toner triboelectrically charged by the friction member.

Regarding 5, I am satisfied with the second one. The triboelectrically charged toner is obtained as follows. For example, when the friction member is a carrier, nitrogen gas is sprayed onto a developer consisting of toner and carrier to separate the charged toner from the carrier due to friction with the carrier, and then an electric field is applied to the toner so that it falls onto the paper.

The particle size corresponds to a sphere having the same volume as the volume of toner particles of the included size. Equivalent projected area circle equivalent diameter D P 9 in the formula? .. S is determined as follows. The triboelectrically charged toner particles separated from the developer and falling onto the paper are projected by an image analysis device, and the particle diameter corresponding to a circle having the same area as the toner particles is measured. Then, the particle size that includes 97.5% of the number of measured toner particles is calculated from the minimum particle size by D P 9? .. It is defined as s. Toner with this value exceeding 1.6 contains coarse particles that adhere and aggregate due to reverse polarity charging as a result of frictional charging with a friction member.
