Abstract

A developer carrier is used in a dry-type image developing device employing a one-component developer in an electrophotographic copier or an electrostatic recording apparatus. The developer carrier has a resin coating layer including an electrically conductive filler dispersed therein which is made of a material having a volume resistivity of at most 100 .OMEGA.cm. With this arrangement, the range in which the resistance of the surface layer varies under the ambient condition of varying temperature and humidity is small, producing a copy of stable image quality free from a smeared or contaminated background.
