To provide an electrophotographic image forming method and an electrophotographic print capable of stably obtaining natural and excellent glossy texture without incompatibility as compared to the conventional silver halide photographic print.
In the electrophotographic image forming method, the mirror face glossiness GsP(45°) and the dispersion of reflected light GsP(*45°±3°) of the black print image part of the toner image forming surface of the electrophotographic print satisfy conditions expressed by following inequalities (I) to (III). The inequality (I) is 30≤GsP(45°). The inequality (II) is 0≤GsP(*45°±3°)≤15. The inequality (III) is GsP(45°)/GsP(45°±3°)≥6. In the above, GsP(45°) is the mirror face glossiness at a 45° incident angle and a 45° reception angle, and GsP(*45°±3°) is the average of GsP(*42°) and GsP(*48°), where the GsP(*42°) is a measured value by a mirror face glossiness meter at the 45° incident angle and a 42° reception angle, and the GsP(*48°) is the measured value by the mirror face glossiness meter at the 45° incident angle and the 48° reception angle.
