わる共通の問題点を有する。Various developing methods for visualizing electrostatic latent images using toner are also known. For example, the magnetic brush method described in US Pat. No. 2,874,063, the cascade development method described in US Pat. No. 2,618,552, and US Pat.
A number of development methods are known, such as the powder cloud method, the fur brush development method, and the liquid development method described in No. 21776. Among these developing methods, in particular, a magnetic brush method using a developer mainly consisting of toner and carrier;
Cascade method, liquid development method, etc. are widely used (in practical use). All of these methods are excellent methods that can obtain good images relatively stably, but on the other hand, they suffer from deterioration of the carrier and the mixing ratio of toner and carrier. A common problem with two-component developers is fluctuation.

いる方法にすぐれたものが多い。In order to avoid such problems, various development methods using a one-component developer consisting only of toner have been proposed.
Among them, the toner particles are made of magnetic toner particles. There are many excellent methods that use a developer.

ことが必要であることを知見した。The present inventors have devised the dispersibility of the magnetic material in the toner and the affinity of the magnetic material to the binder resin, and found that in order to obtain magnetic particles with excellent dispersibility and high coloring power, It has been found that particles need to have a spherical shape with low bulk density and low oil absorption.

環境依存性、保存性等をも改善すべく余地がある。Fe3O4 particles exhibiting a spherical shape are generated in an aqueous solution near neutrality, and in this case, it is difficult to convert the entire amount of Fe2+ in the ferrous salt aqueous solution to Fe5O4 particles, and unreacted Fe2° The yield is low because it remains, and unreacted Fe2+ causes wastewater pollution, so countermeasures are required. From the total amount of p e2+ in the ferrous salt aqueous solution, Fe
In order to produce 3O4 particles and increase the yield, it is necessary to react an aqueous ferrous salt solution with an alkali equivalent of 1 equivalent or more with respect to the aqueous ferrous salt solution. In this case, since the alkaline reaction aqueous solution is about PHII or higher, the Fe3O4 particles produced are hexahedral or octahedral particles. Even if these Fe3O4 particles are oxidized at high temperature to obtain γ-Fe2O3 magnetic material and used to form a magnetic color toner, it has poor affinity with the resin, so the dispersion of the magnetic material is poor and a long-term side-out durability test is required. If this is done, the magnetic substance content ratio of the toner in the developing machine becomes rich in magnetic substance, resulting in a decrease in image density. Furthermore, the practical electrophotographic properties of the toner, such as developability, fixing properties, cleaning properties,
There is also room to improve environmental dependence, storage stability, etc.
