る等の問題を有してきた。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In conventional electrophotographic methods, an electrostatic image formed in an electrostatic printing method, an electrostatic recording method, or the like is generally developed with toner, and then transferred to paper and subjected to a fixing process to make the image visible. At present, toners made of colored fine powder are widely used as developing toners. However, the developing toner is broadly classified into insulating toner and conductive toner. The former insulating toner acquires an electric charge through triboelectric charging,
An electrostatic attraction force acts on the toner due to the potential difference between the toner carrier and the electrostatic image carrier, and the electrostatic image is developed. However, the method of applying a charge by triboelectric charging is highly dependent on the surrounding environment, and the amount of charge the toner has decreases under high temperatures, and increases when the humidity is low. From this,
It has had the disadvantage that development behavior varies depending on the environment. In addition, since development is performed by the potential difference between the toner carrier and the electrostatic image carrier, the distance between the two disturbs the developing electric field, which causes toner to adhere to the periphery of the electrostatic image, resulting in a disordered toner image. .
これに対して後者の導電性トナーは静電荷像の静電誘導
に基づいて現像が進行するためトナーを摩擦帯電せしめ

変動しないため周囲環境によって現像挙動が変化するこ

像に対して忠実にトナー像が再現され、解像度が高く鮮
明な画像が得られる。On the other hand, with the latter type of conductive toner, development proceeds based on electrostatic induction of an electrostatic charge image, so there is no need to triboelectrically charge the toner. Since the value of the induced charge does not change depending on humidity, the development behavior does not change depending on the surrounding environment. Further, since the toner is developed by St induction, the toner image is faithfully reproduced with respect to the electrostatic charge image, and a clear image with high resolution can be obtained.

要としてきた。Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, when using a conductive toner as described above, it is necessary to lower the resistance of the toner, and a method has been used in which carbon black is contained in the toner as a conductive material. Therefore, even if a toner contains a coloring agent, carbon black is black, and there has been a problem in that the color development of chromatic colors deteriorates when added in an amount necessary for conductivity. Additionally, a large amount of conductive powder has been required to lower the resistance.
