Abstract
An image forming method using a dry toner and exhibiting good quick-start and power economization characteristics is provided. The image forming method includes a heat-pressure fixing step using a rotatable electromagnetic induction heat-generation type heating member. The toner used therein is characterized by a moisture content of at most 3.00 wt. %, and viscoelasticities as represented by a storage modulus at 110° C. of G′ (110° C.) and a storage modulus at 140° C. of G′ (140° C.) satisfying:G′ (110° C.)≦1.00×106 dN/m2,andG′ (140° C.)≧7.00×103 dN/m3.
