Provided is an image forming method for forming an image having good developability, transferability, and fixability by using a toner having a reduced particle size and a spherical shape, and realizing excellent cleaning properties with a simple configuration. . The image forming method includes at least a step of developing an electrostatic latent image on an image carrier with a two-component developer, and a step of cleaning toner on the image carrier with a cleaning blade. The weight average particle diameter of the toner contained in the initial developer is smaller than the replenishment toner, and the toner coverage of the initial developer with respect to the carrier of the developer is 55 to 75%. Forming method. [Selection] Figure 1 |
