Abstract
Abstract A developer mixture for developing electrostatic images made up of relatively large carrier particles having toner particles electrostatically bonded to them, the carrier particles are small metal particles coated with an acrylic resin having a glass transition temperature at least 50*C and below 100*C, with a cellulose acetate butyrate resin containing 10 - 35% by weight acetate, 10 - 40% by weight butyrate and containing less than 60% by weight acetate plus butyrate, or with mixtures of such acrylic resins and such cellulose acetate-butyrate resins.
