PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus cable forming an image on a target transfer body the surface of which has low smoothness without losing texture intended by a user. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes: an intermediate transfer belt 22; a toner image forming means for forming a toner image on the intermediate transfer belt 22; and a secondary transfer bias roller 60 for transferring a toner image on the intermediate transfer belt 22 to paper P that has recesses and projections on its surface. The image forming apparatus includes: an adjusting means for making a user adjust an A/B ratio when the proportion of transfer from the intermediate transfer belt 22 to the recesses of the paper P is defined as A[%] and the proportion of transfer from the intermediate transfer belt 22 to the projections of the paper P is B[%]; and a control means for controlling a transfer condition for the secondary transfer bias roller 60 based on the A/B ratio adjusted by the adjusting means.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet bonding device and an image forming device capable of preventing wrinkles, an oblique curl and mixing-in of bubbles of a medium after bonding together, by eliminating a dispersion in an adhesive position, when bonding by crossing both sheets in its obliquely crossing position, by carrying a first sheet and a second sheet so as to be obliquely crossable. SOLUTION: A tension applying means for applying tension to the second sheet is arranged on the upstream side of a separating position for separating releasing paper laminated on an adhesive layer of the second sheet to the first sheet by a bonding means.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an image forming method and an image forming apparatus, wherein preservability is good and an image of photographic sharpness is obtained, with a simple constitution. SOLUTION: The image forming method and apparatus uses an image reading part 300 and an image forming part 100 forming an image by superposing a plurality of colors to execute a function of creating an output profile by using the image reading part 300, wherein a means for forming the image in the image forming part 100 on a recording medium P which is partly or wholly transparent is included and the output profile is switched between the case that the purpose is observing from an opposite side of an image forming surface of the recording medium P and the case that the purpose is observing from the image forming surface. Thus, the image formation can be carried out by creating a profile for reproducing correct colors when observed from the opposite side of the image forming surface and the image of simple composition, good storing property and with the photographic sharpness can be obtained.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet member adhesion device, in which sheet members can be adhered to each other without letting bubbles penetrate between the sheet members. SOLUTION: The device is provided with a transfer part 2 to transfer a first sheet member comprising a transparent sheet S1 on which toner images are recorded, and a delivery part 3 to separate a second sheet member comprising a non-transparent sheet S2 with an adhesive layer, for example, by a separation plate 34 to be delivered diagonally to the transfer direction for the first sheet member in such a way that it can be adhered to the first sheet member that is being transferred by the transfer part 2. Upon adhesion, the separation plate is actuated to vary the carrying direction for the sheet member to properly enlarge their adhesion angle, thereby the first sheet member and the second sheet member are adhered to each other.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet material adhering device which can prevent crinkle or oblique curl of a medium and mixing of air bubbles after adherence by eliminating variation of adhering position when a first sheet material and a second sheet material are obliquely conveyed and both sheet materials are crossly adhered at the oblique position, and also to provide an image forming device. SOLUTION: The sheet material adhering device is provided with a torque limiter TR for imparting a torque reverse to the conveying direction of the release paper with respect to a sheet holding roll for deliverably holding the second sheet material adhering to the first sheet material with an adhering means and a laminated released paper in a winding state.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: image forming system for obtaining a photo style image without curl by eliminating the curl occurred after bonding; image forming device; post-processing device; and image forming method. SOLUTION: The image forming system includes: the image forming device for forming a mirror image in a transparent medium provided with a transparent part at least partially; and the post-processing device for bonding a non-transparent medium provided with a transparent or white adhesive layer and having a non-transparent and white color including a color of the adhesive layer on an image forming face of the transparent medium to form an integral recording medium. At least either of the image forming device and the post-processing device has a cooling means for cooling the transparent medium before bonding the transparent medium and the non-transparent medium mutually.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the entrapment of air bubbles deteriorating images by stabilizing the lamination process by using an apparatus for forming photographic tone images which laminates sheet-like media carrying images formed by an image-forming apparatus and another sheet-like medium and to provide an apparatus for forming image sheets which has a simple constitution and yields storage-stable and photographic tone images. SOLUTION: The method for forming image sheets comprises an image-formation step in which the mirror image of an image is formed on the transparent portion of a transparent medium having a transparent area at least in part and a lamination step in which the image-formed side of the transparent medium and the adhesive side of an opaque medium having a transparent or white adhesive layer. The lamination process is carried out between the two press rollers having different hardness. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet laminator and an image forming apparatus, capable of carrying a first sheet and a second sheet in such a way as to be capable of skewing so that both sheets meet each other to be bonded at a skewed position, while they are prevented from being bonded to each other at an undesired timing. SOLUTION: On carrying upstream side of a bonding section where the first sheet and the second sheet to be bonded to each other by a bonding means converge in the middle of a carrying path and bonded together, a direction regulation means is provided to be abutted on either the first sheet or the second sheet on the opposite side to the surface to be bonded almost up to the bonding section for regulating the advance direction.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet member pasting device and an image forming device, capable of easily and certainly forming a high-gloss and high-texture image by suppressing formation of bubbles between sheet members. SOLUTION: A gas spraying means 110 spraying gas such as air toward an obliquely intersecting part 103 is provided between the first sheet member 100 and the second sheet member 91. The gas is sprayed from the gas spraying means 110 toward the obliquely intersecting part 103 (see arrow C), thereby the obliquely intersecting part 103 is extended to increase a pasting angle θ. Adjustment of the pasting angle θ by the gas spraying means 110 is optimized by controlling a position where the gas spraying means 110 is arranged and the flow rate and flow speed of the gas to be sprayed.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet handling method and an image formation device in which while they are easy configuration, when an image is formed, the image having good shelf life, photography tone, and easy color tone recognition and a normal image which is not reversed can be acquired, and a sheet excellent in stock nature and conveying nature can be formed. SOLUTION: The sheet handling method is characterized in that a transparent sheet in which a mirror image is formed and a non-transparent sheet are prepared, an image forming surface of the transparent sheet is made to face the non-transparent sheet, and thereby the transparent sheet and the non-transparent sheet are overlapped through an adhesion medium. The method is a main configuration. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
