Abstract

A method for forming plural images by repeating a process is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of (1) forming an electrostatic latent image on an organic photoreceptor, (2) developing the electrostatic latent image formed on the organic photoreceptor with a toner particles each of which contains domains of releasing agent having a number average domain diameter of 0.1 .mu.m to 1.1 .mu.m to form a toner image, (3) transferring the toner image to a image receiving paper using a transferring roller being pressed to the photoreceptor with a pressure of 25 g/cm.sup.2 to 1000 g/cm.sup.2, (4) separating the image receiving paper carrying the transferred toner image from the photoreceptor, (5) fixing the toner image carried on the image receiving paper, and (6) cleaning the surface of the photoreceptor.
