Abstract
An image formation process which forms a toner image by the nonmagnetic one-component developing system by bringing an electrically conducting brush impressed with a voltage into contact with a photosensitive material to effect the uniform charging, and forming an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive material by the exposure to the image-bearing light, wherein the toner that is used as a circularity of from 0.92 to 0.98. The nonmagnetic one-component developing system minimizes irregular electric charging that stems from the use of the electrically conducting brush. This action is obtained even in full-color developing system which effects development many times.
