Abstract
A predetermined mathematical formula, which defines an occurrence degree of an image defect where the toner layer is thinned or no toner image is formed, is set up, which is valid for a developing device including a reverse turn developer carrier and a forward turn developer carrier. A difference between the total sum A of the values by the above formula showing the occurrence degree of the image defect on the forward turn developing roller and the total sum B of the values by the above formula showing the occurrence degree on the reverse turn developing roller, i.e., (A-B), is selected within a range of -0.56 to +0.5.
