That is, in addition to the conventional characters, output of graphics, photographs, and the like is also required. In particular, some printers having a capacity of 1200 dots per inch or more appear, and the latent image on the photoreceptor becomes more difficult. It is getting finer.
Therefore, high reproducibility of fine lines in development is strongly required.

[0005] Further, the toner particles have been reduced in particle size, and it is required to further disperse the iron oxide particles in the resin.

である。
In general, when producing toners, carriers and pigments, the iron oxide particles and the resin are measured, mixed and kneaded. Among them, in order to improve the dispersibility, it is necessary to improve the supply to a kneader at the time of measurement or after mixing, and the mixing with a resin having a low specific gravity. On the other hand, higher resolution has been promoted, and those having low residual magnetization have been preferred. Further, as the particle size of the toner has been reduced, the iron oxide particles used in the toner also need to be reduced in particle size.

Since the specific gravity of iron oxide particles is heavier than resin and may be separated during mixing, if the bulk density is low even if there is vibration, it is possible to improve the mixing property with low specific gravity. Thus, the dispersibility after kneading can be improved. In addition, such a material is hardly compacted during transportation and has good handleability.

[0008] However, it is widely known that spherical iron oxide particles generally have low remanent magnetization.
