Abstract: The method for manufacturing a color print by an electrophotographic image forming process employs forming toner images by non-contact developing electrostatic latent images on electrostatic latent image holding members in developing devices. For each color, cyan, magenta and yellow, there is a separate electrostatic latent image, a separate electrostatic latent image holding member and a separate developing device.

The non-contact developing is carried out by flying the toner from the toner holding member to the electrostatic latent image holding member. The cyan toner exhibits a maximum chroma at lightness L*C of from 53-70.
