Abstract

A resin-coated ferrite carrier having a uniform resin coating and emitting no offensive odors, etc., its production method, and an electrophotographic developer which comprises the resin-coated ferrite carrier, is excellent in the charge stability and image quality stability over a long period, causes less fogging of image or carrier adhesion, is favorable in the image density and environmental dependency, and can fully respond to high-speed and full-color imaging, are provided. The resin-coated ferrite carrier for the electrophotographic developer is characterized in that the surface of ferrite particles is coated with a mixed resin of a tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer or a tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkylvinyl ether copolymer and a polyamideimide resin, and that the mixed resin contains a silicon oxide.
