摘要:
An image forming method including forming an electrostatic latent image on an image bearing member; developing the electrostatic latent image using a color toner and a transparent toner to form a color toner image and a transparent toner image thereon; transferring the color toner image and the transparent toner image to a recording material; and fixing the color toner image and the transparent toner image on the recording material. The color toner includes a polyester resin and a colorant, and the loss tangent of the color toner has a maximum peak at a temperature of from 80° C. to 160° C., and is not greater than 3 at the maximum peak. The transparent toner includes a crystalline polyester resin, and the loss tangent of the transparent toner has a maximum peak at a temperature of from 80° C. to 160° C., and is not less than 3 at the maximum peak.

A toner including a binder resin, a colorant, and a release agent is provided. The toner has a peak loss tangent (tan δ) value of 3 or more within a temperature range of 80 to 160° C. Here, the loss tangent (tan δ) is a ratio (G″/G′) of a loss elastic modulus (G″) to a storage elastic modulus (G′). The toner provides a good combination of low-temperature fixability, hot offset resistance, storage stability, coloring power and/or opacifying power, and gloss.

In the image forming method, at least one color toner image and a transparent toner image are formed using a color developer including a color toner and a carrier and contained in a first developing device, and a second developer including a transparent toner and a carrier and contained in a second developing device. A supplementary developer is supplied at least to the second developing device while discharging excess of the developer in the developing device. The transparent toner includes a lubricant and has a viscoelastic property such that a loss tangent (tan δ), which is defined as a ratio (G″/G′) of loss modulus (G″) to storage modulus (G′), has a peak at a temperature of from 80° C. to 160° C. and the peak has a height of not less than 3.

The object is to provide a toner which can be smoothly replenished by a toner replenishing device using a powder pump even when the toner contains a releasing agent, and an image forming apparatus using the toner. There is provided a toner, which comprises a binder resin, a colorant and a releasing agent, has a dynamic friction coefficient of 0.15 to 0.35, and is replenished by the toner replenishing device having a powder pump configured to automatically supply the toner and a toner container arranged in conjunction with the powder pump so as to develop a latent electrostatic image on a image bearing member.

An electrophotographic image forming apparatus capable of reliably forming an image with density gradation, one which does not have a low-quality appearance. The estimated average halftone granularity of the toner image after developing but before electrostatic transfer was set at 0.25 or less. The average halftone granularity was found by measuring the granularity of a toner image at locations of different average brightness by means of newly proposed formula, and averaging the measured values for which the average brightness is 40 to 80. The estimated average halftone granularity was obtained by estimating the average halftone granularity of the toner image on a photoreceptor by means of a newly proposed method.

An image forming method, comprising passing a toner image-bearing sheet through a nip defined between two rollers including a heater roller to fix the toner image on the sheet, wherein the toner image is formed from a toner comprising a binder resin, and a colorant, wherein the toner image before the passage through the nip has a toner volume V1 and a toner image area S1, wherein the toner image after the passage through the nip has a toner volume V2 and a toner image area S2, and wherein a volume change Vt and an area change St defined by the formulas shown below are 30% or less and 20% or less, respectively: Vt(%)=(V1−V2)/V1×100 St(%)=(S2−S2)/S1×100. Alternatively, the toner image before the passage through the nip has a surface roughness of 2.5 μm or less.
