Abstract
A method of forming a color image comprising forming at least one color toner image on an electrophotographic light-sensitive element whose surface has releasability by an electrophotographic process, forming a peelable transfer layer on the electrophotographic light-sensitive element bearing the toner image by an electrodeposition coating method using thermoplastic resin grains each containing a resin (AH) having a glass transition point of from 10.degree. C. to 140.degree. C. or a softening point of from 35.degree. C. to 180.degree. C. and a resin (AL) having a glass transition point of not more than 45.degree. C. or a softening point of not more than 60.degree. C. and its glass transition point or softening point is at least 2.degree. C. lower than that of the resin (AH), transferring the toner image together with the transfer layer onto a primary receptor, and then transferring the toner image together with the transfer layer from the primary receptor onto a receiving material. The method can provide color images of high accuracy and high quality without color shear in a simple and stable manner irrespect of the kind of receiving material. The color duplicate obtained has good …
