Abstract

The present invention provides a mono-component developing method comprising the steps of: supplying a mono-component developer containing a toner particles having an average shape factor (SF value) of 100 to 150 to a developer transporting member; PA1 regulating the developer on the developer transporting member by a regulating member to form a thin developer-layer on the transporting member; PA1 transporting the thin developer-layer by the transporting member to develop an electrostatic latent image; and PA1 after development, making a residual developer on the developer-transporting member in contact with a static erasing member applied with a voltage having a polarity opposite to a charging polarity of the toner particles, and also provides a mono-component developing machine for effectuate the above method.
