An image forming method includes forming a toner image on an image carrier of an image forming apparatus, transferring the toner image on the image carrier onto an intermediate transfer member, and second-transferring the toner image on the intermediate transfer member rotating at a linear speed Vc onto a recording medium, which is fed along a first conveyance path from a registration roller pair rotating at a linear speed Vr, by a transfer member. The method further includes fixing the toner image on the recording medium, which is fed along a second conveyance path from the transfer member, by a fixing member rotating at a linear speed Vt. A length of the first and second conveyance paths is shorter than a length of a maximum recording medium of the image forming apparatus. Linear speed ratios Vc/Vt and Vr/Vc are changed depending on a property of the recording medium.
