[PROBLEMS] To prevent transfer failure and transfer unevenness, maintain image robustness such as abrasion resistance and water resistance, prevent deterioration in image quality due to variation in ejection speed from nozzles, and transfer Provided are an ink, an image forming method, and an apparatus for facilitating cleaning of ink attached to a body and preventing uneven glossiness of an image due to a high boiling point solvent. [Solution] In an image forming method in which ink containing at least a resin component and a color material is ejected onto the intermediate transfer body 12 and then the solvent component is absorbed from the ink and transferred to the recording medium 36, the resin component is broken at 25 ° C. The elongation is 25% or more, and the temperature of the intermediate transfer body 12 when transferring to the recording medium 36 is 25 ° C. or more and less than the minimum film forming temperature of the resin component.
