In a toner image forming method, toner with toner particles having a shape coefficient falling within a range of 1.0 to 1.6 in an amount of 65% by number or more and the toner particles has a variation coefficient of the shape coefficient of 16% or less. In a step of cleaning residual toner (20) remaining on the image carrying member (10) after the step of transferring; the cleaning step includes a step of removing electrostatically residual toner by bringing a cleaning roller (21) in contact with a surface of the image carrying member and by applying a bias voltage between the cleaning roller (21) and the image carrying member (10), and a step of removing mechanically residual toner by bringing a tip end of a cleaning blade (23) in contact with a surface of the image carrying member (10) at a position downstream of the cleaning roller (21) in terms of the rotating direction of the image carrying member (10). <IMAGE> |
