摘要： There is provided an image forming apparatus which fixes ink in a short time without deteriorating clearness or transparency of the ink. An ink image is formed on a recording medium by the ink containing a resin and a solvent miscible with the resin. An ink curing liquid is applied to contact the ink image on the recording medium. The ink curing liquid is miscible with the solvent, and has a molecular weight greater than a molecular weight of the solvent. Alternatively, an ink curing solid is applied to contact the ink image on the recording medium. The ink curing solid has a swelling property with respect to the solvent contained in the ink.

摘要： A process for forming a dot image on a recording medium which has a surface having a characteristic in which a receding contact angle decreases when the recording medium is heated in a condition where the recording medium is in contact with a liquid. The process includes in an arbitrary order the following steps (a) and (b) of: (a) selectively heating the surface of the recording medium so that one or a plurality of heated areas are formed on the surface of the recording medium in accordance with image information, the size of each heated area being controlled in accordance with the image information; and (b) bringing a liquid to the surface of the recording medium, wherein the receding contact angle of each heated area decreases so that a latent image corresponding to one or the plurality of the heated areas is formed on the surface of the recording medium. An apparatus for forming a dot image operates in accordance with the above process.

摘要： A process of the present invention forms an image on a recording medium, a surface of the recording medium having a characteristic in which a receding contact angle decreases when the recording medium is heated under a condition in which a liquid is in contact with the surface of the recording medium. The process includes following steps of: bringing a liquid into contact with the surface of the recording medium; selectively heating the surface of the recording medium in accordance with image information, whereby an adhesion area having the receding contact angle corresponding to a temperature on the surface of the recording medium heated is formed, as a latent image, on the surface of the recording medium; and adhering a solid ink to the adhesion area so that the latent image formed on the recording medium is developed. The solid ink is defined as an ink whose softening temperature is higher than a room temperature and lower than a temperature at which the receding contact angle on the surface of the recording medium starts to decrease.
