A method for attaching carbon black to the surface of toner particles is to use a mixer such as a V-type mixer, a turbine-type stirrer, or a Henschel mixer, and add a specific carbon black in an amount of 0.05 to IN per 100 parts by weight of toner particles. This can be done by mixing and stirring. In this case, if the amount of carbon added is less than 0.05 part by weight, the effect of adding carbon black will be small and toner adhesion to the surface of the developing sleeve will occur, while if it exceeds 1 part by weight, the specific resistance of the toner will increase. As a result, the image quality deteriorates.
