Developer, developer cartridge, and image forming apparatus
View Patent ↗In order to control the filming, a developer comprises developer primary particles, each comprising at least a resin and a colorant and an additive agent added to the developer primary particles and having a particle diameter smaller than that of the developer primary particles, wherein an extrication amount of the additive agent in the developer primary particles is smaller than 5.2×10 −5 part by weight with respect to the developer primary particles.
1. A developer comprising:
developer primary particles, each comprising at least a resin and a colorant; and
an additive agent added to said developer primary particles and having a particle diameter smaller than that of said developer primary particles,
wherein more than 0.2 part by weight of said additive agent is added to said developer primary particles and an extrication amount of said additive agent in said developer primary particles is between 2.5×10 −6 and 4.0×10 −5 part by weight with respect to said developer primary particles.
2. The developer according to claim 1 , wherein said developer is a pounded toner.
3. A cartridge comprising said developer according to claim 2 .
4. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
an image holding device;
a charging device for charging said image holding device;
an exposing device for forming an electrostatic latent image on said charged image holding device;
a developing device for making said electrostatic latent image visible; and
said cartridge according to claim 3 .
5. The developer according to claim 1 , wherein said developer is a polymerized toner.
6. A cartridge comprising said developer according to claim 5 .
7. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
an image holding device;
a charging device for charging said image holding device;
an exposing device for forming an electrostatic latent image on said charged image holding device;
a developing device for making said electrostatic latent image visible; and
said cartridge according to claim 6 .
8. A cartridge comprising said developer according to claim 1 .
9. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
an image holding device;
a charging device for charging said image holding device;
an exposing device for forming an electrostatic latent image on said charged image holding device;
