An image forming method excellent in intermittent ink discharge performance is provided. An ink composition containing at least 70% by mass of a water-soluble solvent having an SP value of 27.5 or less, (a) a water-soluble solvent, (b) a coloring material, and (c) at least water, and droplets are ejected. Nozzles, pressure chambers communicating with the plurality of nozzles, a plurality of droplet ejection elements including piezoelectric elements for displacing the wall surfaces of the pressure chambers, and a common communicating with the plurality of droplet ejection elements via supply paths, respectively A common flow path that communicates with the plurality of droplet discharge elements via a reflux path, and an ink composition is supplied from the common flow path to the plurality of droplet discharge elements. An image forming method comprising: forming an image on a recording medium by ejecting the ink composition using an ink circulation device circulating in a circulation path. [Selection] Figure 1 |
