Abstract:
1. A formation process of a glossy surface comprising: a step for heating an image carrier to which a clear toner is supplied; a step for adhering closely the image carrier to a belt member by the intermediary of the clear toner molten in the above step; a step for cooling the image carrier in a state being closely adhered to the belt member; and a step for releasing the image carrier with the clear toner solidified by the cooling from the belt member; wherein a surface of the belt member is composed of a cured resin comprising; (a) a structural unit derived from a urethane (meth)acrylate (A) having 3 or more (meth)acryloyloxy groups in a molecule; (b) a structural unit derived from a polyfunctional monomer (B) having 3 or more (meth)acryloyloxy groups in a molecule but no urethane bond; and (c) a structural unit derived from a fluorine-modified acrylate(C); and wherein the contact angle of the surface of the belt member with respect to pure water is 85 to 110°; the clear toner comprises a toner particle comprising a binder resin and a wax; and the melting energy ΔH determined from a melting peak area obtained from an endothermic peak of the wax obtained by a DSC measurement of the clear toner is 2 to 20 J/g.
