Abstract
An image forming method is disclosed in which an optical image is formed on an electrostatic latent image bearing member, and its light intensity is modulated in accordance with image information to form an electrostatic latent image, and then development is performed. At the time of formation of an electrostatic latent image formed of the smallest isolated dots on the electrostatic latent image bearing member, the charge density distribution, weight average particle diameter of a toner, and Q/M distribution of the toner satisfy the relationship of: ##EQU1##
