An image forming method capable of forming a spot high gloss image close to photographic gloss, and having both excellent excellent low-temperature fixing property, high hot offset resistance and good storage stability, and image A forming apparatus and a process cartridge are provided. An electrophotographic developing toner includes a chromatic toner and a transparent toner, and the chromatic toner contains a polyester resin and a colorant, and has a loss elastic modulus (G ″) / storage. The tangent loss represented by the elastic modulus (G ′) = tangent loss (tan δ) has a maximum peak at 80 to 160 ° C., and the maximum peak value of the tangent loss is 3 or less. A tangential loss represented by loss elastic modulus (G ″) / storage elastic modulus (G ′) = tangent loss (tan δ), and has a maximum peak at 80 to 160 ° C. The maximum peak value of loss is 3 or more. [Selection] Figure 1 |
