摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier that carries a first toner image, a transfer unit that transfers the first toner image on the image carrier onto a recording medium directly or through an intermediate transfer body, a fixing unit that fixes the first toner image that has been transferred onto the recording medium, and a glossiness-controlling unit that forms a second toner image made of clear toner on the recording medium in accordance with an amount of toner that forms the first toner image to be transferred onto the recording medium, thereby controlling a glossiness on a surface of the recording medium that has been subjected to the fixing performed by the fixing unit.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus of such a type as is provided with a photosensitive member having a semi-conductive intermediate transfer member disposed opposite the photosensitive member. A charger electrically charges the photosensitive member. An exposure device forms an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive member and developer visualizes the electrostatic latent image using toner identical in polarity to the photosensitive member. A primary transfer device transfers the toner image to the intermediate transfer member by applying a bias opposite in polarity to the photosensitive member, and a secondary transfer apparatus transfers the toner image on the intermediate transfer member to a transfer material. An optical charge-eliminator optically removes the electrical charge from the photosensitive member. A contact charge-eliminator is provided between the optical charge-eliminator and the primary transfer device so as to completely eliminate the electric charge injected into the photosensitive member at the time of the primary transfer.
