[PROBLEMS] To provide sufficient fixing capability at medium to high speed in non-contact fixing methods such as flash fixing, laser fixing, microwave fixing, and high-frequency fixing capable of selectively heating toner and further allowing quick start. To provide an image forming method in which dirt caused by toner when an image is rubbed is improved. In an image forming method including a step of fixing an image on a fixing medium using a toner containing at least a wax and a binder resin having compatibility with the wax, the wax has a melt viscosity at 90 ° C. 50 mPa · s or less, penetration at 25 ° C. is 4 or less, the wax ratio of the toner is 40% by weight or more based on the binder resin and wax, and the toner is unfixed. And a step of heating (melting) and fixing the toner with a non-contact heating fixing means to the fixing toner adhesion (transfer) portion of the fixing medium when fixing the toner image onto the fixing medium. Image forming method. [Selection figure] None |
