Abstract
A positively chargeable developer, comprising: positively chargeable toner particles, positively chargeable silicate fine powder having a positive triboelectric chargeability higher than that of the toner and a mean particle size of 3 microns or smaller, and a microdisperser having a triboelectric chargeability lower than that of the toner and a mean particle size which is larger than that of the silicate powder and smaller than that of the toner particles. The microdisperser has a function of disintegrating particularly the positively chargeable silicate fine powder and enhances the attachment thereof to the toner particles, whereby the developing characteristics including the triboelectric chargeability are stabilized from the initial stage of electrophotographic copying operation, and the storage stability is also improved.
