  • Patent number: 11543758
    Abstract: A unit includes: a developing device configured to develop an electrostatic charge image that is formed on a surface of an image carrier, as a toner image with a developer including a brilliant toner containing a flat brilliant pigment, the developer being accommodated in the developing device; and a fixing device configured to fix the toner image onto a surface of a recording medium at a fixing temperature of 130° C. or higher and 230° C. or lower that includes a fixing belt, a first roller and a second roller that are disposed inside the fixing belt and support the fixing belt while applying tension to the fixing belt, and a pressure roller, the first roller and the pressure roller sandwiching the fixing belt to form a nip portion.

  • Patent number: 11359041
    Abstract: An endless belt includes a substrate layer, and a first surface layer that is disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the substrate layer and that includes a cross-linked fluororesin layer. A layer containing a cross-linked fluororesin forms the inner circumferential surface of the belt. Martens hardness of the inner circumferential surface of the belt at 130° C. is higher than Martens hardness of the outer circumferential surface of the belt at 130° C.
