A recording material for use in an image forming apparatus in which an image made of melting powder toner is formed on a recording material and then fixed by application of heat and pressure from a heating rotatable member that is coated with a releasing oil, said recording material comprising:
- a base resin layer;
- a first resin layer provided on said base resin layer, having a lower softening temperature than that of said base resin layer and a compatibility of solubility with the powder toner by application of the heat greater than with said base resin layer;
- and
- a second resin layer provided on said first resin layer for absorbing a releasing oil.
