A fixing unit having a fixing roll and an endless belt, when a recording sheet bearing thereon a toner image not yet fixed passes through between the fixing roll and the endless belt, the fixing unit fixing the toner image onto the recording sheet in the nip area, wherein the endless belt is a film-like belt consisting of a base film and a layer layered on the base film, the layer being made of a composite material containing porous material and elastomer. And, a fixing endless belt for the fixing unit thus constructed. Thereby, it provides a fixing unit which is free from the problems of image offset and lifetime shortening, and can realize the increase of fixing speed and/or size reduction, and an endless belt used for the fixing unit. |
