Abstract
An image formation system includes an image forming apparatus for forming different color toner images on a recording material having a toner reception layer, a first heater for heating and pressing the toner image on the recording material, and a heater for heating and pressing the toner image on the recording material having been heated and pressed by the first heater. The first heater is operable so as to provide a granularity R of the toner image satisfying 0.5≦R≦4.0 and a glossiness G of the toner image satisfying 5≦G≦40, the second heater being operable so as to provide a granularity R of the toner image that is not more than 4.0 and a glossiness G of the toner image that is not less than 60.
