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 10):
The image forming apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the THF-insoluble matter in the toner has a glass transition temperature (Tg 2nd\u2032 ) of from 0\u00b0 C. to 50\u00b0 C. measured in the second temperature rising in the differential scanning calorimetry.
