    Abstract: [Object]
    An object of the present invention is to provide a photoresponsive polymer that sufficiently secures photoresponsiveness to be fluidized by light irradiation and reversibly non-fluidized, improves fixability, and further has good color reproducibility.
    [Solution]
    Provided is a photoresponsive polymer containing a structural unit derived from an azomethine derivative represented by the following general formula (1), the photoresponsive polymer being fluidized by light irradiation and reversibly non-fluidized: R1—Z1═Z2—R2  General formula (1): Z1 and Z2 are N or CH, while Z1≠Z2, R1 contains an aromatic hydrocarbon structure, R2 contains an aromatic heterocyclic structure, and a hydrogen atom is bonded to at least one carbon atom bonded adjacent to a carbon atom in the aromatic heterocyclic structure bonded to the Z2.

    Abstract: There is disclosed an image post-processing method for adjusting glossiness of a fixed toner image. The method includes a glossiness control step and a temperature control step. The glossiness control step is a step of, to a toner image formed of a toner containing a light absorbing compound and fixed to a recording medium, emitting glossiness control light so as to reduce or increase glossiness of the toner image. The temperature control step is a step of heating the toner image immediately before the light is emitted to the toner image such that the toner image has a surface temperature which is at least 20° C. lower than a softening temperature of the toner. The glossiness control light has a maximum emission wavelength in a wavelength range in which the compound absorbs light and is made to at least reduce the glossiness of the toner image.
