A development subsystem is used to develop toner particles transported by semiconductive carrier particles. The development subsystem includes a developer housing for retaining a quantity of developer having semiconductive carrier particles and toner particles, a first magnetic roll having a stationary core with at least one magnet and a sleeve that rotates about the stationary core of the first magnetic roll, a second magnetic roll having a stationary core with at least one magnet and a sleeve that rotates about the stationary core of the second magnetic roll, a motor coupled to the first and the second magnetic rolls to drive the rotating sleeves of the first and the second magnetic rolls at different velocities relative to a velocity for a photoreceptor that rotates in proximity to the first and second magnetic rolls, the first and second magnetic rolls being driven in a direction that is with the direction of rotation of the photoreceptor so that the first and the second magnetic rolls carry semiconductive carrier particles and toner particles through a development zone formed by the first and the second magnetic rolls that is proximate to the photoreceptor.
