摘要:
A fixing device for an image forming apparatus and having a heating member facing a sheet transport path. The heating member has a number of heating portions which are separate in a direction perpendicular to an intended direction of sheet transport. The heating portions are selectively driven in matching relation to a toner image carried on a sheet.
摘要:
A disclosed fixing device fixes resin particles onto a medium by applying a fixer including a softening agent onto the resin particles resting on the medium. The softening agent softens the resin particles by dissolving or causing swelling of at least part of resin included in the resin particles. A foamed fixer is generated from the fixer. The foamed fixer whose layer thickness is controlled is applied onto the resin particles resting on the medium.
摘要:
To provide a photocurable liquid developer including colored resin particles, and an electrically insulating liquid that cures by light, wherein the electrically insulating liquid contains an unsaturated group-containing silicone compound represented by General Formula (1) below, where R independently denotes a methyl group or a phenyl group, l and m each independently denote an integer of 0 to 100, and X1, X2 and X3 each independently denote a C1-C6 alkyl group or Substituent A below, with at least one of X1, X2 and X3 being Substituent A, where R denotes a methyl group or a phenyl group, and n denotes an integer of 2 or 3.
摘要:
To provide a fixing solution for fixing fine resin particles to a recording medium, the fixing solution including: a diluent which contains water; a foaming agent which allows the fixing solution to be in the form of foam; and a solid plasticizer which is solid at normal temperature and soluble in the diluent, and which softens or swells at least part of the fine resin particles while dissolved in the diluent.

A fixing liquid is provided which fixes a toner comprising a resin on a recording medium, in which a fluid particle comprising a component which dissolves or swells at least a portion of the resin comprised in the toner is dispersed in a dispersive medium, as a micro-emulsion.
摘要:
A fixing apparatus causes a softener to adhere to a toner image and then fixes the toner image onto a recording body. The toner image is formed using a liquid developer comprising a toner and carrier solution. The fixing apparatus comprises a fixing roller as a softener feeding device for feeding a fixer containing a softener to a transfer paper which is a recording body, and a pressurizing roller as a pressurizing device for pressurizing the transfer paper at a fixing nip which is a softener feeding position to which the fixer is fed. As the softener contained in the fixer, the one having an affinity for the carrier solution is used.
摘要:
A removal nip having a predetermined width is formed by a sweep roller pressurizing mechanism, which adjusts the length of a tension spring by rotating an adjustment screw, and adjusting the size of an energizing force of a sweep roller with respect to a photosensitive drum. A pressurizing mechanism similar to the sweep roller pressurizing mechanism is also provided in a developing roller, to adjust the energizing force of the developing roller, to thereby form a developing nip having a predetermined width.
摘要:
A developing device for developing a latent image formed on an image carrier with a developing liquid includes a liquid storing section for storing the liquid consisting of a developing substance and a carrier liquid. A developer carrier deposits the liquid fed from the liquid storing section thereon. A float type liquid level sensor senses a liquid level in the liquid storing section. The liquid level sensor includes a magnetic force generating member for generating a magnetic force, a magnetic force sensing device for sensing the magnetic force, and floats movable up and down in accordance with the liquid level in the liquid storing section. A distance between the magnetic force generating member and the magnetic force sensing device varies in accordance with the movement of the floats, allowing the liquid level to be determined on the basis of the output of the magnetic force sensing device. An image forming apparatus including the developing device is also disclosed.
