ABSTRACT:
A image formation process comprising the steps of forming an electrostatic latent image on an electrostatic latent image carrier, developing the electrostatic latent image with a developer to provide a toner image, transferring the toner image to a transfer material, and heat-fixing the toner image on the transfer material, wherein the developer comprises a toner for developing electrostatic latent images comprising a binder, a colorant, and 1 to 30% by weight of a lubricant which comprises a modified polyethylene wax which is obtained by homopolymerizing ethylene or copolymerizing ethylene and an .alpha.-olefin having 3 to 10 carbon atoms in the presence of a metallocene catalyst and modifying the resulting ethylene homo- or copolymer by grafting at least one grafting monomer selected from the group consisting of a styrene monomer and an unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer, and has a hexane extraction of not more than 65% by weight, and wherein the transfer step comprises bringing a bias roll into contact with the back side of a transfer material. The image formation process of the present invention requires less power consumption. The toner for use in the present invention provides a good releasability at low temperatures and shows excellent anti-offset properties and powder fluidity without causing the generation of ozone, image defects and blocking.
