Abstract:
1. An image-forming apparatus comprising: an image unit configured to form an image using at least one of a white toner and a color toner having a lower storage modulus than the white toner; a fixing unit configured to fix the image to a medium with heat; and a controller configured to determine a color paper fixing time P based on a first mode and a second mode of the image-forming apparatus, the color paper fixing time P calculated by subtracting a first fixing time of the first mode from a second fixing time of the second mode, the color paper fixing time P being greater than 0 ms and less than 30 ms, wherein the first mode represents an operation where an image of the color toner alone is fixed to a normal paper used as the medium, wherein the second mode represents an operation where an overlaid image of the white toner and the color toner is fixed to color paper used as the medium.
