Abstract:
A fixing apparatus, includes a first pressing roller, a belt wound around the first pressing roller, a second pressing roller disposed to face the first pressing roller across the belt and to form a fixing nip portion between itself and the belt, and a roller position changer that changes a position of the second pressing roller, wherein at least one of the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller is a roller including a core metal and a foaming body covering the core metal, and the roller position changer changes a position of the second pressing roller to be able to change a peak surface pressure of the fixing nip portion correspondingly to a kind of a print medium so that a range where maximum shearing strain occurs from an interface between the core metal and the foaming body in the foaming body becomes a predetermined range.
