Abstract
A fixing device includes a flexible rotatable fixing belt, a pressuring member, a pressing member, a heating part, a belt guide, and a fiber member. The pressuring member forms a pressuring area between the fixing belt and the pressuring member. The pressing member comes into contact with an inner circumference face of the fixing belt via lubricant in the pressuring area to press the fixing belt to the pressuring member. The heating part heats the fixing belt from outside. The belt guide supports the fixing belt from a side of the inner circumference face so that the fixing belt faces to the heating part. The fiber member is arranged between the belt guide and the fixing belt. At least a part of a face of the fiber member at a side of the fixing belt is oil repellent.
