Image recording method

A method of forming an image comprising the steps of:

• (a) arranging a plurality of recording electrodes opposite to a movable recording member having an insulating layer on the surface, thereby forming a recording area between said insulating layer and said recording electrodes;
• (b) supplying to said recording area magnetic toner, said supplying step including the step of selecting magnetic toner consisting of toner particles composed of a binder resin and magnetic powder, said toner particles being coated with particles made of a conductive material and further coated thereon with particles made of an insulating material so that it has a bulk resistivity of 10.sup.6 .OMEGA..cm or less and a resistivity of 10.sup.5 -10.sup.15 .OMEGA..cm;
• and
• (c) applying signal voltage corresponding to said image to said recording electrodes, thereby forming a toner image on the surface of said recording member.
