Abstract
A developing device which prevents bias of a developer caused by an axial magnetic force of a magnet roller, and which can form an image uniform in the axial direction; and a magnet roller for a developing device which is used in the above developing device and is reduced in axial magnetic force. The developing device includes a rotatable sleeve which carries a developer on the surface thereof, a fixed magnet roller which is provided within the sleeve and has a plurality magnetic poles, and a doctor blade which controls the amount of developer carried on the sleeve. The developing device is constructed so that among the plurality of magnetic poles of the magnet roller, the ratio of the axial magnetic flux density to the radial magnetic flux density of a magnetic pole opposing the doctor blade is 2.5/100 or less in a central portion in the axial direction.
