Abstract
There is disclosed a two-component developing agent for use in an mage formation based on electrophotography, which has high developability even at a high speed printing and good developability in the case of the image formation for a long period of time. The two-component developing agent includes a carrier comprising a magnetic particle and an insulating toner. A surface of the magnetic particle is coated with at least a resin. A mean particle size of the magnetic particle is between 30 and 90 &mgr;m and an aggregation degree of said carrier is between 2 and 15%.
