<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrostatic charge image developer with which the glossiness of toner images can be controlled in compliance with manuscripts to be printed, like, for example, the toner image of the high glossiness suitable for a color photograph image can be obtained in a color photograph, and a toner image of low glossiness suitable for a character image can be obtained in a character image, and an image forming method using the electrostatic charge image developer. <P>SOLUTION: The electrostatic charge image developer contains a toner including at least a binder resin and a colorant and resin particles of 3 to 8 μm in median grain size (D<SB>50</SB>) in volume criteria and is characterized in that the softening point of the resin particles is higher by 20°C than the temperature during the passage of the image support through a fixing nip. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
