ABSTRACT:
An image-forming method uses an assembly having a first toner replenishing hopper, a toner storage room, a nonmagnetic cylindrical rotating member provided with a first mixed magnetic field-generating device, a first magnetic blade, a nonmagnetic cylindrical development sleeve provided with a second fixed magnetic field generating device, a second magnetic blade, an electrostatic image holding member, a cleaning device and a second toner-replenishing hopper. At least certain of the foregoing components are set to have specific positional relationships with one another so that the recovered magnetic toner is efficiently reused together with the fresh magnetic toner.
