    摘要: An image forming apparatus of the present invention having a transferring particle layer forming equipment which forms a transferring particle layer prior to forming a toner layer on a surface of an image recording member, whose coagulation force among the transferring particles in the transferring particle layer is smaller than adhesive force of the transferring particle layer to the image recording member, a development equipment which forms a toner layer on a surface of the image recording member according to image information with a liquid developer in a manner that a part of the toner layer is superimposed on the transferring particle layer and a transfer equipment which transfer the toner layer to a transfer medium together with a part of the transferring particle layer. As a result, high transfer efficiency can be obtained, and an image forming apparatus which realizes high image quality is provided.
