In a method for developing an electrostatic latent image comprising the steps of; (a) supplying toner onto a toner transporting member which confronts an electrostatic latent image support member with the leectrostatic latent image thereon at an developing region, said toner being 12 mu m or less in mean particle size, 10% or less of toner with at least 16 mu m in particle size, and 20% or less in coefficient of variation; (b) forming a thin layer of said toner on the toner transporting member by pressing said toner; and (c) transferring said toner from said thin layer of said toner onto the electrostatic latent image formed on an electrostatic latent image support member for developing the electrostatic latent image. |
