Abstract:
1. An image-forming process comprising the steps of: forming a toner image on an electrophotographic image-receiving sheet, which comprises a support and a toner-receiving layer which contains a polymer on the support; heating and pressuring a surface of the electrophotographic image-receiving sheet on which the toner image is formed with a fixing belt and a roller; cooling the surface, so as to separate the surface from the fixing belt; and peeling a surface of the toner receiving layer of the electrophotographic image-receiving sheet from a surface of the fixing belt with a separation force of 1 N/m to 20 N/m, when a temperature at the surface of the electrophotographic image-receiving sheet is one of 50° C. and 90° C.
