Abstract

A two-component developer containing a magenta toner and a magnetic carrier, wherein the magenta toner has the characteristics: (i) when the concentration of the magenta toner in a solution of the magenta toner in chloroform is represented by Cm (mg/ml) and the absorbance of the solution at a wavelength of 538 nm is represented by A538, a relationship between Cm and A538 satisfies the relationship of 2.00<A538/Cm<6.55; (ii) the lightness L* and chroma C* of the magenta toner determined in a powder state satisfy the relationships of 35≦L*≦45 and 60≦C*≦72; and (iii) the absolute value for the triboelectric charge quantity of the magenta toner measured by a two-component method using the magenta toner and the magnetic carrier is 50 mC/kg or more and 120 mC/kg or less.
