Abstract

A process for generating consistent high quality images for extended periods, consisting essentially of (1) providing a xerographic imaging, or printing apparatus; (2) adding thereto a stable two component developer composition comprised of resin particles, first pigment particles, second magnetite pigment particles, which are present in a greater amount than the first pigment particles, and blended flow additive particles; and carrier particles consisting of a ferrite core, or a steel core and a coating thereover selected from the group consisting of terpolymers of styrene, methacrylate, and triethoxysilane; and polymethacrylate, which coating has incorporated therein conductive particles; (3) forming electrostatic latent images, or magnetic images in the apparatus; and (4) developing the images formed, wherein the developer composition retains its electrical properties for over 2.5 million imaging cycles.
