A resin-coated ferrite carrier having a uniform resin coating and emitting
no offensive odors, etc., its production method, and an
electrophotographic developer which comprises the resin-coated ferrite
carrier, is excellent in the charge stability and image quality stability
over a long period, causes less fogging of image or carrier adhesion, is
favorable in the image density and environmental dependency, and can
fully respond to high-speed and full-color imaging, are provided. The
resin-coated ferrite carrier for the electrophotographic developer is
characterized in that the surface of ferrite particles is coated with a
mixed resin of a tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer or a
tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkylvinyl ether copolymer and a
polyamideimide resin, and that the mixed resin contains a silicon oxide.
