Abstract
A process for producing an image comprising the steps of: electrically charging a photoreceptor under dark; forming a latent image on the photoreceptor through selective imagewise exposure to light; and developing the latent image with a two-component developer comprising a carrier and a toner, the photoreceptor comprising a conductive substrate having thereon a photoconductive layer comprising amorphous silicon having a thickness of 25 .mu.m or less, the carrier is a magnetic material carrier comprising particles of a magnetic material having an average particle diameter of from 35 to 60 .mu.m, where the content of particles having a diameter of 44 .mu.m or more is 35% by weight or more. A two-component developer comprising a carrier and a toner, the carrier comprising particles of a magnetic material having an average particle diameter of from 35 to 60 .mu.m, where the content of particles having a diameter of 44 .mu.m or more is 35% by weight or more.
