The developer of the present invention is characterized in that the toner produced as described above is mixed with two types of carriers having different types of silicone resins for coating the surface. That is, silicone resin consists of a macromolecule in which silicon atoms are bonded to each other via siloxane bonds and spread out in a network, and the silicone resin is composed of a macromolecule in which silicon atoms are bonded to each other through siloxane bonds and are spread out in a network. Non-bonded silicon atoms usually have hydroxyl groups, and resins in which at least a portion of these hydroxyl groups are replaced with methyl groups, or methyl groups and phenyl groups are called methyl silicone resins and methylphenyl silicone resins, respectively. .. The carrier used in the developer of the present invention contains at least both ferrite powder coated with methyl silicone resin and ferrite powder coated with methyl phenyl silicone resin. There is no particular limit to the particle size of the carrier, but it is between 10 and 2.
Ferrites with an average grain size of 00 um are preferred. These carriers may be used in an amount of 5 to 10 parts per part by weight of toner.
It is preferable to use 0 part by weight of the ferrite coated with methylphenyl silicone resin, and 5 to 50 wt% of the total carrier, more preferably 10 to 30 wt% of the ferrite coated with methylphenyl silicone resin.
It is preferable to set it as %. <Examples> Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited in any way by the following Examples unless it exceeds the gist thereof. In addition, in the examples below, the term "parts" simply means "parts by weight." (Example 1) A black toner having an average particle size of 11 μm was obtained by blending, mixing, crushing and classifying. To 100 parts of this black toner, 0.2 parts of silica powder (R-1972, manufactured by Nippon Aerosil ■) was externally added using a Henschel mixer. 4 parts of the obtained toner, 50 parts of ferrite powder coated with methyl silicone resin having an average particle diameter of about 100 μm, and 50 parts of ferrite powder coated with methyl phenyl silicone resin were mixed and stirred,
A developer was created. Next, using this developer, a photocopying machine using an organic photoconductor as a photoreceptor was used to conduct a photocopy test on iooooo sheets at 40''C/85% to 90% high temperature/humidity conditions.Used for photocopying test. The replenishment toner is of the same type as the toner used in the developer.
