摘要

An image forming apparatus (500) including an image bearing member (40); a charger (5) ; a light irradiator (21) ; a developing device (4); a transfer device (10, 62, 14, 15, 16; 22, 23); an image bearing member's cleaner (6); and a fixing device (25; 26), wherein the fixing device includes a fixing member (251; 261, 263, 264) configured to fix a toner image upon application of heat and pressure thereto; a pressing member (252; 262) configured to press the recording material toward the fixing member; and a cleaning member configured to clean a surface of the fixing member and/or the pressing member, wherein the cleaning member has an outermost layer including a viscoelasticity increasing material which increases viscoelasticity of a binder resin of the toner by reacting with the binder resin (Fig. 9).
