aspect, it is preferred that the core material of the carrier is a magnetic powder dispersion type spherical core produced by a polymerization method.
In the developer for developing an electrostatic latent image of the second aspect, it is preferred that the carrier contains magnetic powder in the form of fine particles in an amount of 80% by weight based on the total weight of the carrier.
The invention also relates to, as a third aspect, a process for forming an image containing a step of developing an electrostatic latent image formed on a latent image holding member with a toner to form a toner image, and a step of transferring the toner image to a transferring material to form a transferred image, the toner being a toner for developinga residual toner remaining on the latent image holding member is recovered with an electrostatic brush.
In the process for forming an image of the third aspect, it is preferred that a residual toner remaining on the latent image holding member is recovered into a developing device.
While the development and transferring are influenced by the general transporting property of the developer and the electric current on transferring, they are a process of pulling toner particles away from the binding power of a carrier carrying the toner particles, and adhering the same on the object (a latent image holding member or a transferring material), and therefore they are influenced by balance between the electrostatic attracting force and the adhesion force between the toner particles and a charge controlling member or
