An electrophotographic image forming apparatus for printing a photographic
image and a photographic image printing method by using the same are
provided. The electrophotographic image forming apparatus for printing a
photographic image includes a photosensitive medium having a surface on
which a color-image electrostatic latent image and a transparent-image
electrostatic latent image are formed by exposure. At least one color
developing unit contains a color glossy toner charged with a polarity and
develops a color image on the surface of the photosensitive medium by
applying the color glossy toner on the color-image electrostatic latent
image. A transparent developing unit contains a transparent glossy toner
charged with a polarity different from the polarity of the color glossy
toner and develops a transparent image on the surface of the
photosensitive medium by applying the transparent glossy toner on an
external region of the transparent-image electrostatic latent image. The
color image and the transparent image are sequentially transferred
without overlapping onto an intermediate transfer medium.
