IMAGE FORMING METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide an image forming method by which stable images without image defects such as fog and black spots can be formed for a long time. CONSTITUTION: This image forming method includes a process to develop an electrostatic latent image on a photoreceptor with a developer. The photoreceptor is an org. photoreceptor having a protective layer containing fine particles on the surface thereof. The toner which constitutes the developer consists of at least a binder resin and a coloring agent. The binder resin essentially consists of a crosslinked resin obtd. by the reaction of carboxyl groups in a polymer or polymerizable monomers with a polyvalent metal compd.
