ABSTRACT:
A developing device including a developing roller and applicable to an electrophotographic image forming apparatus is disclosed. The developing roller is made up of a flexible member and a shaft and feeds toner to a latent image formed on a photoconductive element. A supply roller supplies the toner to the developing roller. A gap is formed between the flexible member and the shaft at at least one end portion of a printing region assigned to the developing roller. The gap sets up a uniform pressure between the supply roller and the developing roller and between the developing roller and the photoconductive element.
