The subject invention provides a transferring and fixing apparatus in which a transferring and fixing member and a pressure member are in close and pressing contact with each other, forming a transferring and fixing region therebetween, and a fused toner image held and heated by the transferring and fixing member is transferred and fixed into in the transferring and fixing region onto a recording paper fed to the transferring and fixing region, either of an end portion of the transferring and fixing region where the recording paper is fed or an end portion of the transferring and fixing region where the recording paper is discharged is set to have a highest pressure in the transferring and fixing region. With this arrangement the present invention prevents micro offset phenomenon in a transferring and fixing process of toner into a recording paper in a simultaneous transferring and fixing mode, thereby achieving high picture quality.
