Provided is an image forming method which is excellent in all of fixability, transferability and fine line reproducibility even when a polymerized toner is used, and has less transfer dust and transfer white spots. An image forming method for electrostatically transferring a toner image on an image carrier to a transfer member using a transfer member by using a polymerized toner obtained from a modified polyester, wherein the image carrier of the transfer member is provided. The transfer member has an elastic layer on the outermost surface, has a surface hardness of 15 to 60 degrees measured by Asker C method, and has a pressure of 0.3 to 2.0 N / cm. An image forming method using a transfer member having an elastic layer thickness of 10 times or more the deformation amount. [Selection diagram] FIG. |
