摘要:
Provide is a clear toner having a wide fixing temperature latitude so as to improve the degree of glossiness in a wide range of image density areas, from a white portion to a high image density portion, while ensuring sufficient fixing performance and color mixing in color portions. The clear toner has a storage elastic modulus G′ (130) of 1.0×104 Pa or more at 130° C. and a melt viscosity η (130) of 1.0×104 Pa·s or less at 130° C.

An image forming apparatus has a first recording mode of outputting the recording material without passing thru the glossiness applying device after fixing and a second recording mode using the glossiness applying device, and then outputting the recording material. In the latter recording mode (B), when a void ratio G of toner in the toner image not yet subjected to the glossing process by the glossiness applying device is defined by a thickness t1 of a toner layer on the recording material after fixing and before entering the glossiness applying device, and a thickness t2 of a toner layer on the recording material after passing through the glossiness applying device, satisfies the formula: G =100×(t1−t2)/t1. In the recording mode (B), fixing conditions for the fixing device and the glossiness applying device are respectively set so that the void ratio of toner satisfies a formula 15≦G≦60.

摘要:
An image heating apparatus that causes a recording material carrying a fixed toner image to be in close contact with a belt and improves gloss level of an image surface is provided. A decrease in the separability of the recording material from the belt can be suppressed by control of the position on the belt in close contact with the leading edge of the recording material.
