Abstract
A method for nonmagnetic monocomponent development is intended for use in an electrophotographic copying machine or electrophotographic printer and is capable of producing highly durable prints of high quality during continuous printing operations. In the nonmagnetic monocomponent development, a developer is transported by a development roller to a photoconductor drum. A Doctor blade triboelectrifies the developer and simultaneously regulates the thickness of a layer of the developer. As the developer, a toner is used, which toner is produced by coagulating minute particles having a diameter between 0.1 and 3.0 .mu.m and then heating the minute particles, thereby thermally fusing these particles.
