<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming method for preventing irregularities in an image and uneven toner melting at an image transfer process, and capable of controlling the glossiness of the image. SOLUTION: As for the image forming method provided with the transfer process of transferring a toner image formed on an image carrier on to an intermediate transfer body, and a simultaneous transfer/fixing process of simultaneously transferring and fixing the toner image on the intermediate transfer body on to a recording medium, the toner includes at least binding resin and coloring agent. At such a temperature that the G'' of the toner is 1×104Pa, G' is 2×102 to 6×103Pa and the image is simultaneously transferred and fixed by using a fixing device, where a heat resistant belt 22 stretched to be laid between supporting rolls is brought into press contact with a fixing roll 2 covered with an elastic body, so that a nip may be formed between the fixing roll 2 and the heat resistant belt 22. At the exit of the nip, the elastic body of the fixing roll 2 is distorted through the heat resistant belt 22 by a pressure roll 23 arranged inside the heat resistant belt 22.</p> |
