ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides An image forming apparatus having: a negatively chargeable spherical toner; an latent image carrier; a charging member for charging a surface of the latent image carrier uniformly without contacting the latent image carrier; an electrostatic latent image forming member for forming an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the latent image carrier; a developing member for developing the electrostatic latent image, without contacting the latent image carrier, by using the negatively chargeable spherical toner so as to form a toner image on the latent image carrier; and an intermediate transfer medium to which the toner image is transferred, wherein the negatively chargeable spherical toner haves: a toner mother particle having a binder resin and a colorant; and a hydrophobic alumina particle as an external additive, wherein the hydrophobic alumina particle has a work function (ΦA1) larger than a work function (ΦTM) of a surface of the intermediate transfer medium.
