IMAGE FORMING METHOD USING ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC SYSTEM

摘要

A method of forming an image comprising: (a) developing an electrostatic latent image formed on an electrophotographic photoreceptor with an electrophotographic toner so as to obtain a toner image; (b) transferring the toner image on the electrophotographic photoreceptor to a recording paper; and (c) fixing the transferred toner image with a fixing device comprising a belt fixing member having an endless belt, wherein the electrophotographic toner comprises a polymer having a glass transition point of 20 to 40° C.; an interfacial adhesion force (Fr) between the electrophotographic toner and poly(tetrafluoroethylene) is 1 to 3.5 N; and the fixing device comprises a heating roller which is provided at a position apart from a fixing nip area.
