PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stabilize the amount of supplying toner, to prevent packing of the powder toner within a container after preservation and to reduce the residual amount of the powder toner by a method of supplying the powder toner which permits automatic supplying of the toner without soaring up of the toner in air by using the toner of high circularity and the toner of a small grain size to make a high-resolution image possible, constitutes the container of a flexible material and is capable of recovering the toner by folding up the container and making the container compact after use with the method of supplying the toner and the container for supplying the same. SOLUTION: The image forming method of developing an electrostatic latent image or magnetic latent image by the powder toner is mainly composed of the method of supplying the powder toner which consists of a toner replenishing device furnished with toner housing means 20 connected to toner supplying means for a developing device of an image forming device, pumping means 25 of automatically supplying the toner and air supplying means 30 for fluidizing the toner in the toner housing means and in which the circularity of the toner packed in the toner container is 0.95 to 0.99 and the degree of flocculation thereof is 20 to 50%. |
