Abstract

The present invention is an image-forming method in which, when θ(A) is the contact angle relative to water of a surface of a photosensitive member and θ(B) is the contact angle relative to water of a surface of an intermediate transfer member, θ(B) is from 100° to 150°; θ(A) and θ(B) satisfy −70°≦θ(A)−θ(B)<0°; the toner has a toner particle that contains a binder resin; and the contact angle relative to water of a surface of a pellet molding of the toner is from 60° to 80°.
