Abstract
An image forming method in which an image carrier that has a surface layer containing a resin having a crosslinking structure is used; a material of a portion of the cleaning blade which portion contacts the surface of the image carrier satisfies 3.92≦M≦29.42, 0>α≦0.294, and S≧250; an absolute value of difference in circumferential velocity between the image carrier and the intermediate transfer member is larger than zero; a polishing agent is present at a contact portion between the image carrier and the intermediate transfer member; M represents 100% modulus; α represents a ratio of a change in stress (Δ stress) to a change in a strain amount (Δ strain amount) from 100% strain to 200% strain in a stress-strain curve; and S represents a breaking elongation measured according to JIS K6251 using a dumbbell type #3 test piece.
