An image forming device includes an image forming unit and a thermal
fixing unit. The image forming unit uses a plurality of different color
developing agents to form a color image on a recording medium. The
plurality of different color developing agents are configured from
binding resins with the same thermal properties. The plurality of
different color developing agents include at least a high-resistance
developing agent and a low-resistance developing agent. The
high-resistance developing agent has a higher electrical resistance than
the low-resistance developing agent and a lower charge-to-mass ratio than
the low-resistance developing agent. The thermal fixing unit thermally
fixes the color image onto the recording medium.
