Abstract
This paper deals with carrier deposition of magnetic brush development which causes a fatal defect on printing output. Experiments show that carriers adversely deposit onto a recording layer when a potential difference between recording layer and magnetic brush is more than a critical value. The critical potential difference is greatly influenced by recording layer-magnetic brush contact condition and is not influenced by the electric field direction. Accordingly, it is clarified that the carrier deposition mechanism is same as that of conductive magnetic toner development.
