Abstract
An image forming apparatus fixes a toner image, in which plural layers constituted from toners with different low-temperature storage elastic moduli as measured in the temperature range of 30° C. or more and 50° C. or less are superposed on each other, to a medium. The image forming apparatus changes the fixing temperature in accordance with the order of superposition of the plural layers.
Claims2
An image forming apparatus that fixes a toner image, in which a plurality of layers constituted from toners with different low-temperature storage elastic modulus as measured in a temperature range of 30° C. or more and 50° C. or less are superposed on each other, to a medium, and that changes a fixing temperature in accordance with an order of superposition of the plurality of layers,
- wherein the fixing temperature for a case where one of the toners that has the highest low-temperature storage elastic modulus constitutes a layer that is the closest to the medium is higher than the fixing temperature for a case where the one of the toners that has the highest low-temperature storage elastic modulus constitutes a layer other than the layer that is the closest to the medium.
