Abstract:
A developing device includes a developer carrier that holds a developer on a surface thereof, rotates around a rotation axis, and supplies the developer to an image carrier at a facing portion at which the developer carrier faces the image carrier; a transport member that transports the developer in a transport direction along the rotation axis while supplying the developer to the surface of the developer carrier; and a guide member that includes a guide portion that guides, toward downstream in the transport direction, the developer that has passed the facing portion without being supplied to the image carrier, the guide member making an amount of the developer that reaches the transport member on an upstream side of the guide portion in the transport direction be smaller than an amount of the developer that reaches the transport member in on a downstream side of the guide portion.

Abstract:
A colorant contains a crystal of a compound represented by the following formula (1): the crystal having a crystal form showing main peaks at interplanar spacings d of 3.45±0.5 Å, 3.63±0.5 Å, 4.23±0.5 Å, 6.65±0.5 Å, and 7.84±0.5 Å in powder X-ray diffraction pattern with CuKα radiation.
Abstract:
An image forming material includes a perimidine-substituted squarylium dye that has a structure represented by the following formula (I) and shows diffraction peaks at least at Bragg angles (2θ±0.2°) of 17.7°, 19.9°, 22.1°, 23.2° and 24.9° in its X-ray powder diffraction spectrum measured by irradiation with X rays generated from a Cu target with a wavelength of 1.5405 angstroms:
Abstract:
An image processing device provided with an acquiring unit and a generating unit. The acquiring unit acquires invisible image data of an invisible image subject to forming on a recording medium with invisible coloring material and acquires source image data of a source image subject to forming on the recording medium with visible coloring material. The generating unit generates corrected-image-data of the source image data corrected according to the absorption wavelength characteristics of the invisible coloring material, such that the color of overlapping regions where both the invisible image and the source image are superimposed when formed on the recording medium approximates to the color of regions corresponding to the overlapping regions in the source image.
