Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a sharp color image without peeling and dropping out of a magnetic material during use by kneading a resin and the magnetic material, pulverizing them, and treating them with the vapor of an organic solvent to swell and fix the mixture of the resin and the magnetic material to each other. CONSTITUTION:The developer is prepared by kneading 20-40pts.wt. of the resin and 80-60pts.wt. of the magnetic material, pulverizing them, then, suspending the mixed powder in the vapor of an organic solvent so as to swell the resin and to fix the magnetic material present on the surface of each mixture particle surrounded with the swollen resin, thus permitting the dropping out, and sharp color reproduction to be ensured even in the case of using color tuners such as red, blue, or the like.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, since the carrier obtained as described above exists with part of the fine magnetic material exposed on the surface of the carrier, a dry two-component developer in which the carrier and toner are mixed is When used as a developer (hereinafter simply referred to as a developer), part of the magnetic material exposed on the carrier surface may peel off or be lost due to collisions between carriers or carriers and toner due to stirring or mixing, or friction, etc. It will be mixed in. Normally, this magnetic material has a black color, so if black toner is used, there is no problem with the color itself even if it is mixed, but since the finished copy is developed and transferred, it has the disadvantage that the image surface becomes rough. . Also red.
