PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide toner which has electrifying performance that is hardly affected by environment is stabilized and is uniform and with which fogging is eliminated in a combination with an amorphous silicon photoreceptor, and high image density is obtained even in long-term use, and an excellent transfer property is obtained and the image of an excellent image quality is obtained even in the case that the potential of a photoreceptor surface is low, and an image forming method and an image forming device suitable for the toner. SOLUTION: An a-Si system photoreceptor is used as an image carrier, and a toner carrier to carry magnetic toner on a surface is arranged by leaving a specified space from the image carrier, and a toner carrier surface is coated with the magnetic toner by a thickness less than the space and when an electrostatic latent image is developed by transferring the magnetic toner to the electrostatic latent image at a developing area to which developing bias is applied, the magnetic toner that incorporates at least a binding resin and magnetic iron oxide, whose average circularity is from 0.970 to 0.995, whose free degree of iron and an iron compound is from 0.05% to 3.00% and that has inorganic fine powder on the surface is used. |
