Abstract: An inkjet ink has a volume reduction rate ΔV calculated using formula (1) “ΔV=100×(V0−V22)/V0” of at least 25% and no greater than 45%. In the formula (1), V0 represents a first volume of a liquid droplet of the inkjet ink at landing, on a non-absorbent recording medium, of the inkjet ink dropped onto the non-absorbent recording medium. V22 represents a second volume of the liquid droplet when 22 seconds elapse from the landing of the liquid droplet on the non-absorbent recording medium.

Abstract: In an initial recovery stage of untransferred toner, a conveying stirring screw is rotated at a high speed by using a second driving path. When the amount of collected untransferred toner increases and the rotating torque of the conveying stirring screw reaches a setting torque value of a second torque limiter, a driving path is switched to a first driving path, so that the conveying stirring screw is rotated at a low speed. When the amount of the collected untransferred toner further increases and the rotating torque of the conveying stirring screw reaches a setting torque value of a first torque limiter, the first driving path is also disconnected to block torque transfer to the conveying stirring screw.
