Abstract

When an unfixed toner image is formed on a recording material, a maximum toner amount per unit area satisfies A<(ρΠL)/30√3, where a specific gravity of a toner is ρ (g/cm3), a weight-average particle size is L (μm), and the toner amount per unit area of the unfixed toner image on the recording material is A (mg/cm2), in formation of the unfixed toner image with each color toner, and the unfixed toner image is fixed so that a region where colors of chromatic toners of respective colors in the above-described images are seen in an overlaid state is 84% or more.
