摘要:
A layer forming device forms a layer of liquid absorbing particles on a surface of a layer of a hardenable solution capable of being hardened in response to a given stimulus so that the liquid absorbing particles absorb liquid drops supplied to the surface of the layer of the hardenable solution.

A recording device includes: an intermediate transfer member; a layer forming unit that forms a curable solution layer on the intermediate transfer member, the curable solution layer including a liquid-absorbing component, a curable material that is cured by irradiation of UV rays, and a surfactant having an HLB value of from 8 to 18; an ink supply unit that supplies ink droplets to the curable solution layer formed on the intermediate transfer member; a transfer unit that transfers the curable solution layer, to which the ink droplets have been applied, from the intermediate transfer member to a recording medium; and a UV irradiation unit that irradiates UV rays onto the recording medium, to which the curable solution layer has been transferred.

An image-recording composition contains absorbent particles; a curable material curable in response to ultraviolet radiation, an electron beam, or heat; and a viscocontroller that increases the viscosity of the image-recording composition with increasing temperature.
摘要:
There is provided a recording apparatus including: an intermediate transfer body; a forming unit that forms an ink receiving layer on the intermediate transfer body, the ink receiving layer including a first solution layer containing a curable material that cures when irradiated with ultraviolet radiation, and a second solution layer, on the first solution layer, containing a curable material that cures when irradiated with ultraviolet radiation, and a liquid absorbing component, and in the case in which the first solution layer contains a liquid absorbing component, the content of the liquid absorbing component in the second solution layer being larger than the content of the liquid absorbing component in the first solution layer; an ink supplying unit that supplies ink droplets onto the ink receiving layer; a transferring unit that transfers the ink receiving layer from the intermediate transfer body to a recording medium; and an ultraviolet irradiation unit that irradiates the recording medium with ultraviolet radiation.
