Abstract
In an image recording apparatus, the surface of an image carrier is formed of a material having a high affinity to particulates the particle size of which is smaller than toner and the surfaces of which have been treated to be hydrophobic, so that a layer of the particulates treated to be hydrophobic is retained on the surface of the image carrier.
