<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming method capable of easily forming high- fineness images without discharging waste sheets and waste liquids. SOLUTION: Fine powder is first supplied onto a substrate B (first stage). Next, the supplied fine powder is fixed imagewise (second stage). The fine powder existing in non-image parts is recovered (third stage). More preferably, the second stage is a stage for exposing the fine powder imagewise with a laser. The Vicat softening point of the fine powder supplied in the first stage is 50 to 300 deg.C and the average grain size thereof is 0.1 to 20μm. The supplied fine powder is fused in the second stage. Further, the fine powder is the fine powder having electrostatic chargeability or magnetism. The fine powder is moved in the electric field or magnetic field formed in the first or third stage.</p> |
