Abstract
Provided is an image-forming process including a step of forming an electrostatic latent image on a latent image-carrier and a step of developing the latent image by a developer on a developer-carrier disposed facing the electrostatic latent image-carrier, a developer contains a color toner containing a wax which amount is from 1 to 10% by weight of the toner is used, and the developer-carrier wherein a ten-point average roughness (Rz) of the surface thereof of and the average spacing (Sm) of roughness peaks meet the following formula is used; 5.ltoreq.Rz.times.20.ltoreq.Sm. By the process, the conveying property of the developer is good, staining of the surface of the developer-carrier can be prevented, and images having a high quality and excellent in the fixing property over a long period time is obtained even in the case of using oil-less color toners containing a wax.
