METHOD FOR FORMING FULL-COLOR IMAGE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for forming a full-color image, by which high color reproducibility, in particularly, relating to blue and red colors, can be obtained in an obtained full-color image, as well as, superior gradation can be obtained. SOLUTION: In the method for forming a full-color image, at least a yellow toner, a low lightness magenta toner satisfying the condition [1], a high-lightness magenta toner satisfying the condition [2], and a cyan toner are used as toners for electrostatic charge image development; and development with the yellow toner, development with the low lightness magenta toner, development with the high-lightness magenta toner and development with the cyan toner are carried out. The conditions include: [1] a toner image formed with a single toner and having a toner deposition amount of 0.6 mg/cm2exhibiting a chroma C*m1of from 45 to less than 65 and a lightness L*m1of from 12 to 45; and [2] a toner image formed with a single toner and having a toner deposition amount of 0.6 mg/cm2exhibits a chroma C*m2of 80 or higher and a lightness L*m2of from 22 to 70.
