An image forming apparatus which is a high-speed machine for an image forming apparatus such as a copying machine, a printer, a facsimile machine, etc., and which can sufficiently avoid uneven gloss that occurs during fixing, an image forming method using the same, and such image forming Providing toner for image formation, developer for image formation, and process cartridge used in the apparatus. A system speed is 400 mm / sec or more and 1700 mm / sec or less, a fixing belt 92 has a rubber layer 92b and a fluororesin layer 92c, and the thickness of the rubber layer 92b is 400 μm or more and 750 μm or less. The resin layer 92c has a thickness of 2 μm or more and 20 μm or less, and a toner containing a release agent and a binder resin is used. The release agent contains a microcrystalline wax and / or a synthetic ester wax, and is bonded. The resin contains a crystalline polyester resin and an amorphous polyester resin, and the value obtained by infrared spectroscopy is within a predetermined range. [Selection] Figure 2 |
