Abstract:
An image-forming apparatus comprising:an image carrier; a developing device for forming a developing agnet image through a development of an electrostatic latent image formed on said image carrier, said developing device being disposed opposite to the image carrier and containing a developing agent comprising a toner particle containing a binder resin having an acid value of 1 to 30, a glass transition temperature of 40 to 65Â° C. and a softening point of 80 to 140Â° C., an azo-based iron complex, and at least one of a colorant and a first magnetic particle, said first magnetic particle being included in said toner particle at a ratio of 0.1 to 10% by weight; a transferring device for transferring said developing agnet image onto a recording material; and a fixing device of electromagnetic induction heating system for fixing said developing agent image transferred onto said recording material.
