Patent ID: 8824949

Claim:
An image forming method, comprising: performing a first gloss processing including: heating and pressing a processed body which supports a first toner layer containing at least a clear toner [X] onto a first surface of a recording material, while allowing the first toner layer to be closely adhered to a gloss processing belt; and cooling the heated and pressed processed body, whereby glossiness is added to a surface of the first toner layer, and performing a second gloss processing including: heating and pressing a processed body which supports a second toner layer containing at least a clear toner [Y] onto a second surface of the recording material, while allowing the second toner layer to be closely adhered to the gloss processing belt; and cooling the heated and pressed processed body, whereby glossiness is added to a surface of the second toner layer, wherein a storage elastic modulus G′ X (150) at 150° C. of the clear toner [X] used for the first toner layer is lower than a storage elastic modulus G′ Y (150) at 150° C. of the clear toner [Y] used for the second toner layer.
