Abstract

In electrostatic latent image developing process capable of effecting either positive or negative reproduction a magnetic toner of a high resistivity is controlled to form a magnetic brush having a potential insufficient for development. The toner chain constituting the brush is separated under the influence of an electric field between the developing roll and the image carrier, to produce toner particles having one polarity continuing with the developing roll, and particles of the opposite polarity transferred to the carrier.
