this invention is directed to an improved process for causing the development of electrostatic latent images on an imaging member comprising providing a development zone situated between a tensioned deflected flexible imaging member and a transporting member , adding conductive developer particles to the development zone comprised of toner particles and conductive magnetic carrier particles , causing the flexible imaging member to move at a speed of from about 5 cm / sec to about 80 cm / sec , causing the transporting member to move at a speed of from about 6 cm / sec to about 160 cm / sec , said flexible member and said transporting member moving at different speeds , maintaining a distance between the tensioned deflected flexible imaging member and the transporting member of from about 0 . 05 millimeters to about 1 . 5 millimeters , introducing a high electric field in the development zone , wherein the developer particles contained in the development zone are agitated , thereby providing contact between the conductive carrier particles , causing charge to rapidly flow in the direction of the deflected imaging member , said process being accomplished in the presence of a low magnetic field of less than 150 gauss , and a method of imaging utilizing such a process .
