Abstract

A heating device includes a pair of rotary bodies and a heat source. The pair of rotary bodies includes a first rotary body and a second rotary body in contact with each other to form a nip region. The pair of rotary bodies is configured to convey a sheet on which liquid is applied while nipping the sheet. The pressed amount of the second rotary body by the first rotary body increases from an upstream end of the nip region toward a downstream end of the nip region in a sheet conveyance direction. The heat source is configured to heat at least one of the first rotary body and the second rotary body.
