Image forming method

摘要

There is provided an image forming method, including: gradation-processing an image signal based on a halftone image to output a pulse-width-modulated signal; forming a latent image on a latent image-bearing member on the basis of the pulse-width-modulated signal; and developing the latent image with a developer comprising a toner to reproduce the halftone image; wherein the toner has a volume average particle size of M and comprises toner particles having a particle size of r; and has a volume-basis distribution such that it comprises 90% by volume or more of toner particles satisfying M2<r<3/2M and comprises 99% by volume or more of toner particles satisfying 0<r<2M.
