Image forming method

A method for forming an image with a set of electrostatic charge image developing toners using a digital electrophotographic method,

• provided that the set of electrostatic charge image developing toners comprises a black toner and a light gray toner, and the black toner and the light gray toner each comprise toner particles containing a binder resin, a colorant and a releasing agent,
• the method comprising the steps of:
• forming an electrostatic latent image on an image support;
• developing the electrostatic latent image with the black toner to form a black toner image;
• developing the electrostatic latent image with the light gray toner to form a light gray toner image;
• and
• fixing the black toner image and the light gray toner image,
• wherein the black toner contains a wax having an endothermic peak in the range of 60 to 105° C.;
• and
• the light gray toner has a transmittance in the range of 40 to 90%, provided that the transmittance is measured for a fixed light gray toner image formed on a polyethyleneterephthalate sheet with an adhered amount of the light gray toner of 4.0 g/m2, and the light gray toner contains a wax having an endothermic peak in the range of 60 to 105° C.
