Provided is an image forming method capable of suppressing occurrence of toner filming and suppressing generation of minute scratches and obtaining a uniform image. The developer 5 is a non-magnetic one-component toner containing a wax component, the surface of the photosensitive drum 1 has a universal hardness of 185 to 220 N / m 2 and an elastic deformation rate of 40 to 50%. In addition, image formation is performed in a state where the adhesion strength of the external additive material in the developer is 45 to 65%. [Selection] Figure 2 |
