Abstract:
Provided here are toner sets and image forming apparatus and methods for the formation of a bright image with excellent brightness and concealability. A toner set according to an embodiment comprises a first toner which is stored in a first container and comprises a plurality of first toner particles containing a first bright pigment and a first binder resin, and a second toner which is stored in a second container and comprises a plurality of second toner particles containing a second bright pigment and a second binder resin, wherein the second toner has a larger volume average particle diameter than the first toner.

Claim (Index 10):
An image forming method, comprising:\n forming a first electrostatic latent image on a first photoconductor; forming a first toner image corresponding to the first electrostatic latent image on the first photoconductor by supplying a first toner which comprises a plurality of first toner particles containing a first bright pigment and a first binder resin to the first photoconductor; directly or indirectly transferring the first toner image onto a recording medium from the first photoconductor; forming a second electrostatic latent image having the same shape and dimension as the first electrostatic latent image on the first photoconductor or a second photoconductor which is different from the first photoconductor; forming a second toner image corresponding to the second electrostatic latent image on the first or second photoconductor by supplying a second toner which comprises a plurality of second toner particles containing a second bright pigment and a second binder resin and has a larger volume average particle diameter than the first toner to the first or second photoconductor having the second electrostatic latent image formed thereon; and forming a bright image in which the first and second toner images are superimposed on each other on the recording medium by directly or indirectly transferring the second toner image onto the recording medium from the first or second photoconductor.
