PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus using intermediate transfer members and electrophotographic images of good colors by using an image forming method. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus forms the color images by providing the apparatus with a plurality of image forming units having at least organic photoreceptors, developing means and cleaning means, successively superposing the respective color toner images formed on the organic photoreceptors by using the toners changed in coloration by each of the plurality of the image forming units on the intermediate transfer members, transferring the images to form the color toner images, collectively retransferring the color toner images onto a recording material, and fixing the retransferred color toner images, wherein the creep rates of the organic photoreceptors are≥1 to <3.5% and the amounts of the residual monomers of the respective color toners used for the developing means are≤300 ppm. The image forming apparatus has the cleaning means for the intermediate transfer members of removing the transfer-residue toners remaining on the intermediate transfer members by a plurality of cleaning blades.
