Abstract
An image forming apparatus has an unfixed toner image forming device, and a fixing device, wherein a toner amount of the unfixed toner image forming device is smaller than a toner amount of the unfixed toner image formed on a second recording material having a thickness smaller than that of the first recording material by the unfixed toner image forming device. The image forming apparatus is thus able to form a good image on a thick recording.
