A toner supply roll free from occurrence of an imaging failure. The toner supply
roll comprises a shaft (1) and a urethane foam layer (2) provided
on an outer peripheral surface of the shaft (1), wherein when the urethane
foam layer is compressed to a depth of 1 mm from an outermost surface thereof during
compression thereof to a depth of 2 mm, a stress F0 occurs in the urethane
foam layer and when the urethane foam layer is decompressed to a depth of 1 mm
after the compression thereof to a depth of 2 mm, a stress F1 occurs
in the urethane foam layer, the urethane foam layer satisfies a relation represented
by the following expression (1) at a temperature of 233 C. at a humidity
of 5010%:
the stresses F1 and F0 being expressed by a unit of Pa.
