1. An image formation method, comprising the steps of:
preparing an electrostatic latent image developer having toner particles containing a coloring agent and a resin and satisfying A to C below; transferring said electrostatic latent image developer to a recording medium; and fixing said toner particles contained in the electrostatic latent image developer transferred to said recording medium to said recording medium,
A:G′(T0)/G′(T0+10)≧10 Expression(1)40≦T0≦60 Expression (2) being satisfied, where G′(T0) represents a storage elastic modulus (mPa·s) of said toner particles at T0 (° C.) and G′(T0+10) represents a storage elastic modulus (mPa·s) of said toner particles at (T0+10) (° C.), B: a storage elastic modulus of said toner particles at 70° C. G′(70° C.) being not lower than 3×105 mPa·s and not higher than 3×107 mPa·s, and C: a storage elastic modulus of said toner particles not having a relative minimum value and a relative maximum value at a temperature not lower than 70° C. and not higher than 100° C. and
G′(70° C.)/G′(100° C.)≦10 Expression (3) being satisfied, where G′(70° C.) represents a storage elastic modulus of said toner particles at 70° C. and G′(100° C.) represents a storage elastic modulus of said toner particles at 100° C., and said step of fixing said toner particles to said recording medium including the steps of
heating said recording medium, andfixing said toner particles to said recording medium at a pressure P not lower than 200 kPa and not higher than 800 kPa. |
