In a fixing device for causing a pressurizing roller to come in pressure
contact with a heating roller including a central region heating heater
for heating a central region and a side end region heating heater for
heating a side end region on an outside of the central region, thereby
fixing an unfixed toner, or an image forming apparatus comprising the
fixing device, an outside of an image region of the heating roller is
caused to have a peak of heat distribution of the central region heating
heater and heat radiated from both side ends of the heating roller is
compensated to flatten the temperature distribution of the image region,
thereby preventing a deterioration in an image.
