To provide an endless belt where a fluorine resin layer is formed by coating as a release layer on the outer face of the endless belt without hardening the elastic layer of the endless belt used for a fixing belt.
The release layer constituted of fluorine resin is applied to the circular circumferential surface of a mold and a first bonding layer is applied on the release layer. They are baked at a prescribed temperature, the elastic layer is applied onto the first bonding layer and is baked at the prescribed temperature. A second bonding layer is applied onto the elastic layer and it is dried. A support layer is applied onto the second bonding layer and is baked at the prescribed temperature so as to form a circular object. The circular object is reversed. Thus, the release layer constituted of fluorine resin and whose outer face is formed of a molding face is arranged in the outermost layer of the endless belt, and the support layer is arranged in the innermost layer of the endless belt. Consequently, the endless belt having the elastic layer between the outermost layer and the innermost layer is obtained.
