<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming method using toners which are short in warming up time, are capable of forming high-quality images in spite of continuous fixing at a high speed, suppress the degradation in image quality, such as brightness unevenness and color development unevenness, particularly at and under a high temperature and high humidity, are wide in a fixing region and are particularly excellent in low-temperature fixability. SOLUTION: This image forming method includes a process step of melting unfixed toners and fixing the toner image consisting of the toners by heating a heating member coming into contact with the toner image. The heating member described above is the member which generates heat in its surface in contact with the toner image and near the same and the toners described above contain at least coloring agents and a binder resin of which the essential component in such a manner crystalline resin having a number average molecular weight of >=1,500.</p> |
