Abstract
A method of forming a color image comprising providing a first peelable transfer layer 12 on an electrophotographic light-sensitive element 11 whose surface has releasability, forming one or more color toner images 3 on the first transfer layer by a conventional electrophotographic process, further forming a second transfer layer 13 on the toner images 3, and transferring the toner images 3 together with the first transfer layer 12 and the second transfer layer 13 to a receiving material 16 is disclosed. The method is excellent in transferability of toner image and provides simply and stably color images of high accuracy and high quality without color shear. The transfer layer has good releasability from an electrophotographic light-sensitive element and good adhesion to a receiving material. A color duplicate formed has good retouching property, sealing property and storage stability.
