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 20):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n one or more photoconductors; one or more chargers which charge the one or more photoconductors; an optical unit which irradiates the one or more photoconductors with light, thereby forming first and second electrostatic latent images; a first developing device which supplies a first toner comprising a plurality of first toner particles containing a first bright pigment and a first binder resin to one of the one or more photoconductors, thereby forming a first toner image corresponding to the first electrostatic latent image; a second developing device which supplies a second toner comprising a plurality of second toner particles containing a second bright pigment and a second binder resin and having a larger volume average particle diameter than the first toner to one of the one or more photoconductors, thereby forming a second toner image corresponding to the second electrostatic latent image; a transfer device which directly or indirectly transfers the first and second toner images onto a recording medium from the one or more photoconductors; and a control unit which controls the operation of the optical unit so that the first and second electrostatic latent images have the same shape and dimension, and also controls the operation of the transfer device so that the first and second toner images are superimposed on each other on the recording medium to form a bright image.
