Abstract
An image forming method of the present invention comprises: a first toner image formation process for forming a first toner image by forming, on a latent image carrier, a first latent image which corresponds to a first image and developing the first latent image by a first toner charged to one polarity through a development process selected from normal and reverse development process selected from normal and reverse development processes so as to correspond to the polarity of the first toner; a second toner image formation process for forming a second toner image by forming, on the latent image carrier, a second latent image which correspond to a second image and developing the second latent image by a second toner charged to the other polarity by the other development process while applying a developing bias; and a transfer treatment process for simultaneously transferring said first and second toner images to a transfer medium; wherein said developing bias VB2 satisfies the following equations:
