Abstract
This invention provides an electrostatic copying method for forming multiple copies by repeating the process of developing an electrostatic latent image formed on an electrophotographic insulating material with a dry developer comprising electroscopic powder and carrier particles and the process of transferring the thus developed image onto a transfer sheet continuously without erasing said latent image, said carrier particles consisting of an essentially homogeneous ferromagnetic oxide having an apparent electric conductivity in the range of 10.sup.-11 -10.sup.-5 .OMEGA..sup.-1 cm.sup.-1, thereby rendering it possible to form multiple copies compared with the conventional copying methods.
