ABSTRACT:
An electrophotographic image-forming method in which a thin layer of a developer is formed on a developing roll by an elastic doctor blade tangentially contacting with the surface of the developing roll, and an image-bearing member and the developing roll are brought into contact with each other in a developing zone because either of which is made flexible. In the method of the present invention, the toner remaining on the surface of the image-bearing member is effectively removed and recovered in the developing zone. This prevents the background fogging. The flexible structure of either of the image-bearing member and the developing roll prevents the surface of the image-bearing member from being damaged to ensure a printed image of high quality.
