Provided are a carrier for electrophotography developers prepared by
generating a slight amount of byproducts such as water, alcohol, etc,
which carrier is free from release of a magnetic powder, has excellent
mechanical strength and durability, and good environmental stability, and
further can restrain occurrence of toner spent condition and has
favorable fluidity and excellent capability of imparting charging to a
toner, a two-component developer comprising the carrier and a method for
forming an image using the developer. The carrier for electrophotography
developers comprises a magnetic powder dispersed binder resin, the binder
resin material comprises (A) a polysiloxane compound having an epoxy
group as a functional group and (B) a polysiloxane compound having a
group capable of ring-opening addition reaction with the epoxy group of
the polysiloxane compound (A), and the binder resin is a silicone resin
prepared by curing with ring-opening addition reaction of the epoxy
resin. The developer comprises the carrier for electrophotography
developers and the toner particle. The method for forming an image
comprises developing a static latent image by the developer with an
alternating electric field.
