Abstract (en)
A fixing device (5) includes a fixing member (21), an opposed rotator (22) disposed opposite an outer surface of the fixing member (21), a heater (23) disposed inside a loop of the fixing member (21) to heat the fixing member (21) by radiant heat, and a nip formation pad (24) disposed inside the loop of the fixing member (21) to sandwich the fixing member (21) with the opposed rotator (22) to form a nip. The nip formation pad (24) includes a slope (24e) that inclines toward a center of the fixing member (21) in a width direction of the fixing member (21) and is disposed on a heater-side surface (24d) of the nip formation pad (24) facing the heater (23).
