摘要:
A disclosed fixing device applying a bubble-like fixing liquid to resin-containing particles adhered to a medium so that the resin-containing particles are fixed to the medium, the bubble-like fixing liquid being formed by transforming a fixing liquid into foam that dissolves or swells at least a part of the resin, includes a control device that, based on a difference between a moisture content included in the medium after fixing and a target value of the moisture content, adjusts an application amount of the fixing liquid for a next medium.

摘要:
A fixing device for applying a foam fixing agent to particles including resin resting on a medium to fix the particles including resin onto the medium. The foam fixing agent includes a softener for softening the particles including resin by dissolving or swelling at least part of the resin. The fixing device includes a first foam fixing agent generating unit that generates a first foam fixing agent from a fixing agent; a second foam fixing agent generating unit that generates a second foam fixing agent from the fixing agent, the second foam fixing agent having a lower density than the first foam fixing agent; and a foam application member on which a first film formed with the first foam fixing agent and a second film formed with the second foam fixing agent are formed.

摘要:
A dryer for drying an ink image formed on a recording medium is provided. The dryer includes a selective heating dryer, a uniform heating dryer, and a controller. The selective heating dryer is disposed on an upstream side of a feeding path of the recording medium, and performs a first-time drying of the ink image under an output condition in which an amount of cockling becomes equal to or less than a given amount. The uniform heating dryer is disposed on a downstream side from the selective heating dryer on the feeding path, and performs a second-time drying of the ink image after the selective heating dryer performs the first-time drying. The controller changes the output condition of the selective heating dryer in accordance with image information of the ink image, when the ink image is formed with a conductive-particle-containing ink.
