摘要:
An image forming method for fixing a toner image on a recording medium by passing the recording medium through a fixing nip defined between a first member and a second member under heat and pressure. The toner has a specific loss elastic modulus. The first and second members extend along respective first and second longitudinal axes, and have respective first and second elastic layers whose thickness vary along the respective first and second longitudinal axes to define at least one convex portion curving outward and at least one concave portion curving inward with respect to each of the respective first and second longitudinal axes. The first convex portion engages the second concave portion and the first concave portion engages the second convex portion, to define the fixing nip therebetween.

Objects of the present invention are to provide an image forming method and image forming apparatus which can secure stable toner transferability, prevent reverse transfer of the toner back to a latent image bearing member, have excellent fixing ability and produce high-quality images. The image forming method includes a one-component developing step with a toner and transferring step with an intermediate transfer member, wherein the developing step uses a developing roller having a diameter of 8 mm to 15 mm, and the toner has an adherence Fh (nN) of the toner to a flat surface satisfying the relation represented by the formula (1) and adherence Fr (mN) among the toner particles satisfying the relation represented by the formula (2): 15≦Fh≦50 (1) 100≦Fr≦400 (2)
摘要:
Disclosed is an image receiving sheet for forming a toner image by removably adhering toner thereto. The sheet has an irregular surface including a plurality of concavities in the form of continuous grooves for receiving the toner and ridges extending along the concavities, and a toner image can be formed by removably adhering the toner to the concavities. The ridges of the irregular surface are capable of protecting the toner adhering to the concavities. The continuously grooved concavities have a depth (height of ridges) of 20 μm to 150 μm; and a condition of E·A≧2 [GPa·μm] can be established wherein E[GPa] means Young's modulus and A [μm] means a width of ridges, the Young's modulus being a value when a material for forming the concavities and ridges is elongated by 1%. The ridges may be reinforced by reinforcing portions for retaining postures of the ridges.
