PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that can cause a flat shape pigment (flat pigment) constituting an image to have an attitude in which flat surfaces of the pigment are aligned along a page space of a recording medium.SOLUTION: The lowest fixing temperature (MFT) of a silver toner is smaller than the lowest fixing temperature (MFT) of a toner of another color, and a binder resin 11 in the silver toner is softened more than a binder resin 113 in the toner of another color in the same fixing temperature, which makes the silver toner to easily flow. The silver toner is made to easily flow, and thereby a pigment 110 constituting the silver toner can be easily moved. This makes it possible to cause the pigment 110 to have an attitude in which reflection surfaces 110A of the pigment 110 are aligned along a page surface PA of a recording medium P.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 |
