Abstract
An image forming portion of an image forming apparatus is configured to form a toner image on a recording medium such that a relationship of M≦ρπL/(30√3) is satisfied, where a volume average particle size of toner is L (μm), density of the toners is ρ (g/cm3), and a maximum toner laid quantity per unit area of a single color toner image on a recording medium is M (mg/cm2). The toner image formed by the image forming portion is fixed on the recording medium by a fixing nip portion by being heated and applied a force in a direction of a plane of the recording medium.
