METHOD OF FORMING IMAGE AND TONER FOR FORMATION OF IMAGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of forming an image which does not cause fog or melt sticking of a toner on a latent image holding body even when a color image is printed on a great number of sheets in a low humidity environment. SOLUTION: The nonmagnetic single-component toner used is obtained by mixing and dispersing toner particles containing at least a binder resin and a coloring agent and inorganic fine particles 1 to obtain a toner precursor and mixing the obtained toner precursor with inorganic fine particles 2 and silica fine particles. The inorganic fine particles 1 are inorganic fine particles having 80 to 800 nm average primary particle size and selected from oxides of titanium, aluminum, zinc and zirconium. The inorganic fine particles 2 are inorganic fine particles except for silica and having <80 nm average primary particle diameter except for silica. The average primary particle diameter of the silica fine particles is <30 nm.
