<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming method for making a stabilized image quality obtainable being free form the image defect such as density lowering, density unevenness, ghost, fogging by maintaining high transfer efficiency, and reducing the quantity of toner to be recovered/wasted over a long period. SOLUTION: In this method, inorganic fine particles incorporated in the toner, are respectively shifted from the toner and stuck on the electrostatic latent image carrier surface, and the adhesion quantity of inorganic fine particles on the electrostatic latent image carrier surface, is 1 to 20% based on an average occupation area ratio (Cav) in the electrostatic latent image carrier surface. Moreover, difference between the maximum occupation area ratio and the minimum occupation area ratio of the adhered inorganic fine particles in the electrostatic latent image carrier surface (CMAX-CMIN), is <=5%.</p> |
