Abstract
The fixing device includes a fixing member heated from inside; and a pressing member forming a fixing nip with the fixing member. A toner image transferred on a sheet is heated and pressed so as to be fixed on the sheet at the fixing nip through which the sheet is nipped and conveyed. The fixing member includes, on an inner circumferential surface thereof, a heat absorbing layer containing heat-conductive fillers oriented in a direction intersecting with a conveying direction of the sheet.
