<p>A color image forming apparatus forms a color image on a recording medium by using a toner comprising a binding resin, a coloring agent and infrared ray absorbent, and a light source (81) for causing the toner to melt. The light source has a plurality of light emission peaks having wavelengths of lambda 1, lambda 2, lambda 3, ..., lambda n in a range of 500 nm through 3000 nm. Setting is made such that the following relationship is satisfied: ¾ lambda 1 - LAMBDA 1¾ < 100 nm, and, also, ¾ lambda 2 - LAMBDA 2¾ < 100 nm, where LAMBDA 1 and LAMBDA 2 denote the wavelengths of absorption peak wavelengths of the infrared ray absorbent. <IMAGE></p> |
