An image forming method of forming an image on an image forming body (10, 116, 222) includes the steps of: applying a first treatment liquid (12) onto the image forming body (10, 116, 222), the first treatment liquid (12) having a first pH that is lower than an aggregation pH of the ink liquid (14); after the step of applying the first treatment liquid (12), depositing droplets of the ink liquid (14) onto the image forming body (10, 116, 222) on which the first treatment liquid (12) has been applied, the droplets of the ink liquid (14) being deposited according to the image data; after the step of depositing the droplets of the ink liquid (14), applying a second treatment liquid (20) onto the image forming body (10, 116, 222) on which the droplets of the ink liquid (14) have been deposited, the second treatment liquid (20) having a second pH that is lower than the aggregation pH of the ink liquid (14) and lower than the first pH of the first treatment liquid (12); and after the step of applying the second treatment liquid (20), removing solvent derived from the ink liquid (14) on the image forming body (10, 116, 222). |
