Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for image formation in which an electrostatic latent image is formed on an image supporting member having a carbon-based high-hardness surface coating layer. The electrostatic latent image is developed with a toner which includes resin particles composed of at least a binder resin and a colorant, specific fine particles fixed on the surface of the resin particles and post-treatment fine particles mixed with the resin particles on the surface of which the fine particles are fixed. The fine particles prevent the post-treatment fine particles from being embedded in the resin particles. The developed toner image is then transferred onto a transfer member to form the image.
