Abstract
Provided is a two-component developer for developing an electrostatic latent image incorporating: toner particles each containing a toner mother particle having an external additive on a surface of the toner mother particle; and carrier particles each having a core material particle and a covering layer containing a resin on a surface of the core material particle, wherein the external additive contains inorganic particles; the inorganic particles are subjected to surface modification with silicone oil; a carbon content remained on a surface of the inorganic particle after the surface modification is within 3.0 to 10.0 mass %; a free carbon ratio on the surface of the inorganic particle is 70.0% or more; the carrier particles have a resistance in the range of 1.0×10to 5.0×10Ω·cm; and the resin in the covering layer contains a resin formed from a monomer containing an alicyclic methacrylic acid ester monomer.
