Abstract

An image post-processing method includes a glossiness control step of irradiating a fixed toner image with a glossiness control light. The toner image is formed with a toner containing a compound that absorbs light. The glossiness control light is capable of at least reducing a glossiness of the fixed toner image. The glossiness control light has a maximum emission wavelength in a wavelength region which is absorbed by the compound.
