Abstract
An image-forming apparatus includes an image unit that forms an image using a white toner and a color toner and a fixing unit that fixes the image to a medium with heat. The toner mass per unit area of the white toner θ (g/m) in an image of the color toner superimposed on the white toner formed on paper used as the medium satisfies:0.03+1.31×−0.47×+0.02×−0.07×≦θ≦0.05+1.06×+0.42×−0.02×+0.05×where Rw is the average particle diameter (μm) of the white toner, Rc is the average particle diameter (μm) of the color toner, Gw is the storage modulus (kPa) of the white toner at 120° C., and Gc is the storage modulus (kPa) of the color toner at 120° C.
