Toner for two-component developer, image forming method and device for developing electrostatic latent image

A device for developing a latent image on an image bearable member, comprising a developer carrier rotatable at a linear speed of 360-1,680 mm/sec and disposed such that the developer carried by said developer carrier may be brought into contact with the latent image on said image bearable member, and a developer regulating member extending in a lateral direction parallel to the rotational axis of said developer carrier and disposed adjacent to said developer carrier to define a gap therebetween of 0.3-1.0 mm, said developing device being operable so that the amount of the devoloper conveyed by said developer carrier and passing through said gap per 1 second is 5.0-25.0 g per 1 cm of the lateral width of said gap, said developer comprising carrier particle and a toner, wherein said toner comprises toner particles each comprising a wax dispersed therein and wherein said toner has a coefficient of dynamic friction of 0.18 to 0.45.

A toner as claimed in 25, wherein said toner is obtainable by granulating, in an aqueous medium, a composition comprising the wax and a member selected from the group consisting of binder resins and precursors of the binder resin.
