To provide an image forming method of a transfer fixing system by which high image quality is maintained over a long term.
This image forming method has a transfer stage for transferring a toner image formed on an image carrier to an intermediate transfer body, and a transfer and fixing simultaneous stage for transferring and fixing the toner image on the intermediate transfer body onto a recording medium, and also has a cleaning stage for cleaning the surface of the intermediate transfer body by supplying cleaning material to the intermediate transfer body and removing it. The cleaning material at least includes the powder of thermoplastic resin whose volume average particle diameter is 1 to 50 μm, and the storage elastic modulus (G') of the cleaning material is 1×103 to 1×105 Pa at temperature Tmc at which the loss elastic modulus (G") of the cleaning material is 1×104 Pa.
