ABSTRACT:
An electrophotographic apparatus includes: a photoconductor; and two developing rollers facing the photoconductor. A developer fed out from between the two developing rollers is supplied to the photoconductor by the two developing rollers to form a toner image on the photoconductor. The developer includes a carrier having a volume-average particle size smaller than 70 μm and a volume resistivity not lower than 106Ω·cm. A volume ratio of the carrier in a facing portion between the photoconductor and the developing rollers is not lower than 30% and not higher than 46%.
