<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid developer superior in fixing property of toner particles to a recording medium and in storage stability, and to provide an image forming method using the liquid developer. <P>SOLUTION: The liquid developer contains toner particles and an insulating liquid containing an epoxy modified fatty acid alkyl ester. A preferable oxirane oxygen concentration of the epoxy modified fatty acid alkyl ester is 1-25%. The epoxy modified fatty acid alkyl ester comprises a 6-22C epoxy modified fatty acid component and a 2-18C alcohol component desirably. The toner particles have surfaces modified with polyalkylene imine desirably. A preferable weight average molecular weight of the polyalkylene imine is 10,000-70,000. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
