ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus which forms a desired toner image on a receiver are disclosed. The method comprises transferring marking toner particles from an intermediate transfer member to a receiver in the presence of an electric field which urges the marking toner particles toward said receiver. When transferring the marking toner particles to the intermediate transfer member, the surface of the intermediate transfer member contacts non-marking toner particles in some areas which receive marking toner. The marking toner comprises toner particles having transfer assisting particles adhering to the surfaces of the toner particles, said transfer assisting particles having a number average diameter of less than 0.4 .mu.m.
