ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus of non-contact developing method using two-component developer material which is capable of obtaining a clear image free from fogging, ghost and toner contamination. The image forming apparatus has at least one developing unit which includes a developing roll and a magnetic roll, the developing unit develops an electrostatic latent image on a photosensitive body with a toner thin layer formed on the surface of a developing roll wherein a toner thin layer forming region on the developing roll is smaller than a magnetic brush forming region on the magnetic roll. A high resistivity region is adjacent each end of the toner thin layer forming region on the developing roll. A control device controls a developer material replenishment and controls the biasing to the developing roll and magnetic roll.
