Abstract
A recording apparatus comprising an image carrying body, a device for forming an electrostatic latent image on the image carrying body, a developing and cleaning device adapted to press an elastic developing member, having a developing agent formed on the surface thereof, against the latent image, for sliding contact with a speed difference therebetween, to reverse-develop the latent image, and to remove developing agent remaining on the image carrying body, and a contact-transfer device for pressing a sheetlike material against the developing agent image on the image carrying body, to transfer the developing agent image to the sheetlike material. The developing agent on the elastic developing member is a one-component developing agent charged to the same polarity as the electrostatic latent image.
