A process for a latent electrostatic image or a conductivity image on a photoconductor, a single-component magnetic toner being used for development and a magnetic brush being used not only for application of the toner to the image, but also for removal of residual toner. The brush may be one and the same brush for both tasks or separate brushes identical in structure may be used for each of the two tasks.

Process for electrographic image production and an apparatus for

Sharp, high-resolution copies of electrostatc images developed with a one-component magnetic toner can be obtained by corona transfer to a copy sheet if toner resistivity is at least 10.sup.13 ohm-cms. Such resistivity is attainable by incorporating carbon within the toner particles in an amount preferably about 1 to 1.3 per cent by weight, the surface of the toner particles either not having any carbon thereon or it being present in amounts of at most 0.7 per cent by weight.

Process for electrophotographic image formation and transfer

A process for developing a latent charge image on a repeatedly usable charge image carrier and for cleaning the carrier after transfer of the developed charge image by means of a single magnetic brush having a layer of magnetic one-component toner and a thickening of the layer of toner in the region of contact of the magnetic brush with the charge image carrier.
