1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
a developing device that develops a toner image using a toner, the toner including a binder resin and a microcapsulated color material, the microcapsulated color material containing an electron donating color developable agent, an electron accepting color developing agent and a temperature control agent, the temperature control agent having a temperature difference between a melting point and a solidifying point and dissociating the electron donating color developable agent and the electron accepting color developing agent from one another when heated to the melting point; a transfer section that transfers the toner image onto a recording material; and a fixing device that heats the toner image transferred onto the recording material to a first temperature to fix the toner image on the recording material and heats the toner image fixed on the recording material to a second temperature higher than the first temperature to decolorize the toner image, wherein the developing device, the transfer section and the fixing device are operated such that a toner adhering amount is in a range of 0.05 to 0.75 mg/cm2, and the fixing device is operated such that the heating at the second temperature is continued for 10 seconds or less. |
