Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to one embodiment, there is provided an image forming apparatus which forms an decolorable image and an non-decolorable image by fixing a toner image including a decolorable toner and a toner image including a non-decolorable toner or a medium. The decolorable toner has a first peak of a loss tangent tan δ at a temperature T E1 , and the non-decolorable toner has a first peak of a loss tangent tan δ at a temperature T U1 . A difference between the temperature T E1 and the temperature T U1 is within 20° C.
