Abstract: An electrostatic latent image developing toner includes toner particles which comprises a binder resin and a releasing agent. A main component of the binder resin is a polyester resin. The binder resin comprises a crystalline polyester resin, an amorphous polyester resin and a hybrid vinyl resin. The hybrid vinyl resin is composed of a vinyl polymer segment and at least one segment selected from a polyester polymer segment, an urethane polymer segment and an urea polymer segment which is chemically bound to the vinyl polymer segment. A main component of the hybrid vinyl resin is the vinyl polymer segment which comprises a structural unit derived from a monomer having a specific structure. A tetrahydrofuran-soluble fraction of the toner has a main peak of a molecular weight distribution measured by gel permeation chromatography within the range of 11000 to 30000.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an image forming method capable of coating a photocurable varnish without unevenness on a toner image formed using an electrostatic latent image developing toner, and further having good adhesion between a varnish layer and the toner image. The image forming method of the present invention comprises: forming a toner image on a recording medium using an electrostatic latent image developing toner containing a toner particle comprising a binder resin and a release agent; and forming a varnish layer on the toner image by applying and curing a photocurable varnish comprising a photocurable compound. The binder resin comprised in the electrostatic latent image developing toner contains a crystalline polyester resin. The photocurable compound comprised in the photocurable varnish comprises a diol di(meth)acrylate having a straight hydrocarbon chain.
