Abstract
The present invention provides a two-component developer for developing an electrostatic charge image, which includes a toner and a carrier, wherein the toner contains an amorphous resin and a crystalline resin as binder resins and an inorganic particle as external additive particle, and the carrier has a surface to which silica particles having a number average particle diameter of 10 to 30 nm are attached in an amount in the range of the following Equation (1): 5 at %≤S1≤10 at %, wherein S1 represents a concentration of Si element as measured by XPS and indicates an amount of silica on the surface of the carrier.
