ABSTRACT:
An image forming method for developing an electrostatic latent image on a moving image-bearing member with a magnetic developer and for removing the residual toner after transfer of a developed toner image onto a transfer member is described. The method includes providing a rotatable, cylindrical permanent magnet having a plurality of magnetic poles on the surface for supporting and conveying the magnetic developer directly on the magnet surface; forming an electrostatic latent image into a toner image by attracting and conveying a magnetic developer including a nonspherical magnetic toner obtained by a polymerization or a nonspherical magnetic or non-magnetic toner obtained by a polymerization and magnetic carriers; and removing the residual toner remaining on the image-bearing member after transferring this toner image by a cleaning blade. The method also includes a surface magnetic flux density ranging from 50 to 1200 G, and a value of h, defined as .pi.D.multidot.Vp/(M.multidot.Vm), of 2 or less wherein Vp (mm/s) is the moving speed of the image-bearer, and D (mm), M, and Vm (mm/s) are the outer diameter, the number of magnetic poles, and the peripheral speed of the permanent magnet, respectively.
