Abstract:
Provided is a full-color toner cartridge in which the toner does not block and which therefore ensures stable formation of high-quality images. The cartridge has a cylindrical container provided with a toner supply port and is detachable from a developing machine. In this, the container is provided with an agitating unit, and the toner to be filled into the container contains wax having a softening point of not higher than 120° C. and satisfies the following formulae (1) and (2): A/(B×D×&pgr;)≦C (C=65) (1) B≧0.5 (2) wherein A indicates the amount of the toner to be filled into the cartridge (g); B indicates the apparent tapped density of the toner (g/cm3); D indicates the inner diameter of the cylindrical container (cm); and &pgr; indicates the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
