Abstract:
Provided is an image post-processing method for controlling a glossiness of a fixed toner image, the method including a glossiness control step of: irradiating the fixed toner image formed with a toner containing a compound that absorbs light and fixed on a recording medium with a glossiness control light that is capable of at least reducing a glossiness of the fixed toner image, wherein the glossiness control light has a maximum emission wavelength in a wavelength region which is absorbed by the compound.

Claim (Index 12):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a transfer unit to transfer a toner image formed in a developing unit with a toner containing a compound that absorbs light on a recording medium; a fixing unit to fix the transferred toner image on the recording medium; and a glossiness control unit to reduce or increase a glossiness of the fixed toner image by irradiating the fixed toner image formed on the recording medium with a glossiness control light having a maximum emission wavelength in a wavelength region which is absorbed by the compound and is capable of reducing the glossiness of the fixed toner image.
