Provided are an image forming method and a mono-sheet laminate for forming a
discharge image in which the reproducibility of
discharge behavior is high and the occurrence of
processing defects due to dust adhesion or the like is suppressed. The image forming method involves using a mono-sheet laminate (10) obtained by integrating a transparent supporting body (1) on which an image receiving element (2) and an auto-positive
silver halide photographic photosensitive element (3) are laminated, a cover sheet (4) covering the photosensitive element (3), a conductive connecting member (6) for grounding which is connected to a
peripheral part of a surface of the transparent supporting body (1), the surface being on the reverse side to the surface on which the image receiving element (2) is laminated, and a pod containing an alkaline
processing liquid and forming an image on the mono-sheet laminate (10). The image forming method involves performing
discharge on the mono-sheet laminate (10) from an
electrode (32a) of a DC discharge device (30) disposed at a distance of 0-15 mm from a surface of the cover sheet (4) in the normal direction of the surface, and developing the alkaline
processing liquid contained in the pod between the photosensitive element (3) and the cover sheet (4) to form a discharge image.
