An image forming apparatus capable of stably supplying conductive fine particles from a developer to a charging member and an image carrier nip portion and having good fixing characteristics, and a toner for realizing the image forming apparatus. It is. An image carrier that carries a latent image, a charging device that charges the surface of the image carrier, an exposure device that forms a latent image on the surface of the charged image carrier, and a latent image on the image carrier are developed. In the image forming apparatus including a developing device that develops with toner on a roller, the charging device charges the surface of the image carrier with a charging member having conductive fine particles interposed therebetween, and the toner is made of a polyester resin based on an inorganic tin compound catalyst. An image forming apparatus including the image forming apparatus. [Selection] Figure 1 |
