Abstract
An image forming method includes: applying a resin powder to a first area of an object to be subjected to image forming; applying a water-based ink comprising pigments to a second area of the object by an inkjet method to form an image, the first area and the second area at least partially overlapping each other; and heating the first area and the second area to fix the resin powder and the water-based ink to the object. By contact with the resin powder, the water-based ink either thickens, or causes an aggregation of the pigments.
