(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] Development of a highly durable developer and image forming method that has a fast charging start-up, does not cause fogging or toner scattering, and does not cause carrier destruction even in the thin layer development process. [Structure] A developer consisting of colored toner particles containing at least a binder resin and a coloring material and a carrier is thinned to a developer layer thickness of 20 to 800 μm by a developer regulator, In the image forming method of non-contact developing an electrostatic latent image on a latent image forming body (photoreceptor), the carrier is a carrier for negatively chargeable developer, wherein magnetic particles are coated with magnesium compound particles and a resin. And a method for forming an image. |
