(57) [Summary] (with correction) [PROBLEMS] To provide an image forming method capable of achieving high-resolution and high-definition image formation. SOLUTION: (a) a charging step; (b) an exposure step; In an image forming method having (c) a developing step; (d) a transferring step; and (e) a cleaning step, Mass A (mg) of oxycarboxylic acid extracted with methanol from 1 g of the toner, containing at least a binder resin, a colorant, a wax component, and oxycarboxylic acid. And the mass B (mg) of the oxycarboxylic acid extracted by the 0.1 mol / L aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is A / B = 1.05 to 3.00, B = 0.10 to 3.50 mg (Based on the mass of toner). |
