Patent ID: 8465900

Claim:
A fixing process for electrophotography, comprising the steps of: fusing a toner forming an unfixed toner image on a recording medium by irradiation with a laser light beam, wherein said toner is the toner comprising a polyester resin as binder resin and a colorant, said polyester resin being the condensation product of at least one polyhydric alcohol with at least one polybasic acid, wherein said at least one polyhydric alcohol comprises cyclohexanedimethanol, said toner having a loss modulus of from 2×10 3 Pa to 3×10 4 Pa at 110° C. and being irradiated with only laser light for fixing, said toner further having a tan δ of not less than 8 nor more than 20 at 110° C., where the tan δ is a ratio of a loss modulus to a storage modulus, said laser light beam having a wavelength within an absorption band of the colorant contained in said toner; and fixing said toner image onto said recording medium by re-solidifying said toner.
