Abstract

A two-component developer containing a yellow toner and a magnetic carrier, wherein the yellow toner has the characteristics: (i) when the concentration of the yellow toner in a solution of the yellow toner in chloroform is represented by Cy (mg/ml) and the absorbance of the solution at a wavelength of 422 nm is represented by A422, a relationship between Cy and A422 satisfies the relationship of 6.00<A422/Cy<14.40; (ii) the lightness L* and chroma C* of the yellow toner determined in a powder state satisfy the relationships of 85.0≦L*≦95.0 and 100.0≦C*≦115.0; and (iii) the absolute value for the triboelectric charge quantity of the yellow toner measured by a two-component method using the yellow toner and the magnetic carrier is 50 mC/kg or more and 120 mC/kg or less.
