An image-forming process for forming a full-color image including: forming
a full-color toner image by supplying at least a cyan toner, a magenta
toner, and a yellow toner onto a recording medium; and fixing the toner
image on the recording medium by flash fusing, wherein each of the cyan
toner, the magenta toner and the yellow toner contains an infrared
absorbent, the cyan toner is supplied so that out of the cyan toner, the
magenta toner and the yellow toner, the cyan toner is positioned in the
uppermost layer in areas of the toner image where cyan toner is present,
and the flash fusing is performed by a delayed light emission process
wherein a plurality of flash lamps emit lights at a time interval.
