Problems solved by technology

[0005] In this developing device, when the unevenness of the surface of the toner particle carrying roller is formed by sandblasting, the size, depth, shape, and arrangement method of the concave portions are not uniform
Therefore, for example, toner particles entering deep recesses cannot be charged well because they are not rolled.
In this way, due to the non-uniform unevenness of the unevenness on the surface of the toner particle carrying roller, there is a possibility that the charge failure of the toner particles locally occurs, or the toner particles enter small recesses to cause filming.
In addition, if the toner particles are not well charged, there is a problem that the toner particles leak from the developing device and disperse into the image forming device, or generate fog on the image, etc.
