Abstract:
An electrostatic recording apparatus comprising:an image carrier comprising an organic photoconductive photoreceptor having an abrasion-resisting outermost periphery;an exposing unit which exposes said image carrier to form an electrostatic latent image thereon;a developing unit which contains a developer and develops said electrostatic latent image with said developer to form a developed image, said developer comprising a toner and a carrier a transferring unit which transfers the developed image thus formed onto a recording medium;and a fixing unit which fixes the transferred developed image on said recording medium,wherein said toner contained in said developing unit comprises and electrically conductive fine powder attached to the surface thereof,and said carrier has a weight-average particle diameter of from 40 .mu.m to 100 .mu.m.
