Abstract
An image forming method for forming an image on a non-permeable substrate, which is water proof, includes: forming a resin layer on the non-permeable substrate; adhering a transfer sheet having a sublimable dye ink layer on a surface thereof to the resin layer, the sublimable dye ink layer comprising a sublimable dye ink; and heating the transfer sheet to transfer the sublimable dye ink to the resin layer. Forming the resin layer includes: ejecting a dispersion liquid which includes resin particles from an inkjet head to be adhered to the non-permeable substrate, such that the resin particles are fixed on the non-permeable substrate to form the resin layer.
