(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To provide an image forming method capable of preventing or suppressing the occurrence of image voids when a toner image is transferred onto a transfer material by a bias roll transfer method. [Structure] A step of forming an electrostatic latent image on an electrostatic latent image carrier, a step of developing the electrostatic latent image with toner, and a formed toner image is transferred onto a transfer material by using a bias roll. In the image forming method having a step, as the toner, toner particles containing at least a binder resin and a colorant, and lubricant fine particles whose surface is coated with an inorganic compound fine powder are used. |
