Abstract
A reverse development method comprising the steps of forming electrostatic image on the surface of an image-bearing member; supplying a developer comprising chargeable magnetic toner based on magnetic powder and a resin development roll comprising a conductive core, a permanent magnet arranged around the conductive core and a dielectric layer provided around and fixed to the permanent magnet and having conductive particles mutually insulated from each other; conveying the developer onto a surface of the image-bearing member by rotation of the developement roll so that the magnetic toner is attracted to the uncharged portions of the image; characterized in that the chargeable magnetic toner contains an aliphatic acid metal salt and is coated with hydrophobic silica.
