Image Forming Method, Liquid Developer Developing Apparatus, and Image Forming Apparatus

A liquid developer developing apparatus, comprising:

• a plurality of developing sections for forming a plurality of monochromatic color images using a plurality of liquid developers of different colors;
• an intermediate transfer section to which a plurality of monochromatic color images formed by the developing sections are sequentially transferred to form an intermediate transfer image which is formed by overlaying the transferred monochromatic color images one after another;
• and
• a secondary transfer section for transferring the intermediate transfer image onto a recording medium to form an unfixed image,
• wherein each of the liquid developers of the different colors is comprised of an insulation liquid containing an unsaturated fatty acid component and toner particles dispersed in the insulation liquid, and wherein the liquid developers include a magenta liquid developer, and the magenta liquid developer contains an oxidation polymerization accelerator which accelerates an oxidation polymerization reaction of the unsaturated fatty acid component when the transferred imaged is fixed.
