Electrostatic image developing toner and image forming method

An image forming method having an electrostatic image recording process comprising:

• visualizing an electrostatic latent image formed on an electrostatic image holding member by use of a two-component developer composed of toner and carrier;
• transferring the visualized toner image onto a recording medium;
• cleaning up a residual toner image on said electrostatic image holding member;
• and
• fixing the toner image transferred on the recording medium so as to obtain a recorded image;
• wherein
• the toner is an electrostatic image developing toner comprising at least fixing resin and wax;
• the wax is hydrocarbon-based wax, containing, as its constitutional components, first wax and second wax;
• the first wax is higher than 1.5 in ratio of weight average molecular weight (Mw) to number average molecular weight (Mn), lower than 10 mPa·s in melt viscosity at 140° C. and higher than 75% and not higher than 85% in degree of crystallinity;
• and
• the second wax is not higher than 1.5 in ratio of weight average molecular weight (Mw) to number average molecular weight (Mn), lower than 10 mPa·s in melt viscosity at 140° C. and higher than 85% and not higher than 95% in degree of crystallinity.
