Abstract: In a color image forming method comprising the steps of forming a primary transferring image comprising plural developer images in different colors on an intermediate transferring belt by repeating the process to develop and transfer developer images on an intermediate transferring belt and forming a secondary transferring image by transferring the primary transferring image on a transfer paper, absolute values of tribo-charge amount of plural kinds of developers are 10 to 30 ?C/g, and an absolute value of tribo-charge amount of a developer used lastly for the development is larger than that of a developer first used for the development and a difference between them is more than 2 ?C/g×(number of developers used ?1).

Abstract: Of developing agents each having a binder containing a polyester resin having an acidic value, wax having a softening point higher than that of the binder, and wax having a softening point lower than that of the binder, the acidic value of a black developing agent is made higher than that of a color developing agent.

Abstract: A developing agent comprising color toners and a cyan toner, the color toners including a yellow toner, a magenta toner, and a black toner, wherein the black toner comprises a binder resin containing a crystalline polyester resin, and the yellow toner, the magenta toner and the cyan toner each comprise a binder resin containing no crystalline polyester resin.

Abstract: A developing agent comprising a binder resin containing a crystalline resin having a crystallinity of 10 to 50%, and the temperature at the DSC heat absorption peak of the developing agent in the heating step differs from the temperature at the DSC heat generation peak of the developing agent in the cooling step.

Abstract: A binder resin contains a polyester resin, a crystalline polyester resin, a wax having a DSC heat absorption peak temperature not higher than that of the crystalline polyester resin, and another wax having a DSC heat absorption peak temperature higher than that of the crystalline polyester resin.

Abstract: A binder resin includes a first polyester resin having a high softening point Sp1, a second polyester resin having a softening point Sp2 higher than the softening point Sp1, a first wax having a melting point Mp1 higher than the softening point Sp2, and a second wax having a melting point Mp2 lower than the softening point Sp2.
