A seasoning apparatus includes: a table on which a stack of paper sheets is loaded, each of the paper sheets having at least one face on which active light curable aqueous ink has been deposited; an air blowing device which blows air in an air blowing direction to a side of the stack loaded on the table; an active light emission device which emits the active light in an active light emitting direction to a side of the stack loaded on the table; and a control device which causes the air blowing device to blow the air to the stack to create gaps between faces of the paper sheets, and causes the active light emission device to emit the active light to the stack to cause the active light to enter the gaps.
摘要:
In a matting agent coating device, a matting agent within a supplying section is supplied to a metering section. A supplied amount of matting agent at a surface of a metering roller is metered by a metering blade, and an excess amount is filtered at a slit portion. Matting agent is supplied to an application roller that is provided directly beneath. For example, a closed-cell sponge rubber is used as a material of the metering roller, and a size of closed cells is around 5 to 100 times an average particle diameter of the matting agent. The matting agent that has been supplied to a surface of the application roller is transferred and applied onto a recording medium. The matting agent is transferred from the application roller onto image portions of the recording medium due to tackiness of an ink film forming an image.

The ink-jet recording method and device record an image by ejecting onto a recording medium an ink which cures upon exposure to active energy rays. The method and device apply an undercoat liquid to the recording medium so as to form thereon an undercoat layer of the undercoat liquid having a surface state, improve the surface state of the applied undercoat layer, semi-cure the undercoat liquid of the undercoat layer having the improved surface state, and form the image by ejecting the ink onto a semi-cured surface of the undercoat liquid of the undercoat layer. The method and device further curing completely the undercoat liquid of the undercoat layer and the ink of the image after forming the image.
