Image forming method

摘要

An image forming method comprising: developing an electrostatic latent image on a latent image carrier with toner to form a toner image, transferring the toner image; and using ultrasonic vibration in the developing step or in the transferring step is disclosed. The toner includes toner particles that contain a releasing agent having a melting point 40-75° C., and has a number-based median diameter D50 of 3.0 to 5.0 mum and a CV value of 12 to 20% in a number-based particle size distribution and/or a mean circularity of 0.975-1.000.
