Abstract:
A fixing method is provided including the step of fixing a toner on a recording medium with a fixing device. The toner comprises a binder resin, a colorant, and a release agent, and has a release agent amount indicator of from 0.01 to 0.20. The release agent amount indicator is represented by a ratio (P 2850 /P 828 ) of an intensity (P 2850 ) at a wave number of 2,850 cm −1  to an intensity (P 828 ) at a wave number of 828 cm −1  of the toner measured by a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy attenuated total reflection method. The fixing device includes a fixing rotator driven to rotate by a driving source, a pressure rotator driven to rotate by rotation of the fixing rotator, a fixing belt interposed between the fixing rotator and the pressure rotator, and a heater to heat the fixing belt.

Claim (Index 9):
The image forming apparatus of  claim 8 ,\n wherein the toner has a glass transition temperature (Tg 1st ) of from 45\u00b0 C. to 65\u00b0 C. measured in a first temperature rising in a differential scanning calorimetry, wherein a THF-insoluble matter in the toner has two glass transition temperatures Tg a1st  of from \u221245\u00b0 C. to 5\u00b0 C. and Tg b1st  of from 45\u00b0 C. to 70\u00b0 C. measured in the first temperature rising in the differential scanning calorimetry, wherein a THF-soluble matter in the toner has a glass transition temperature (Tg 2nd ) of from 40\u00b0 C. to 65\u00b0 C. measured in a second temperature rising in the differential scanning calorimetry.
