A recording apparatus includes an image carrier member, a member for forming a developing agent image by supplying a developing agent on the image carrier member, and a heating member capable of generating heat in a transfer region of the recording apparatus, wherein transfer and fixing are performed substantially simultaneously by the heating member. According to this invention, it is possible to realize a recording apparatus which consumes little power and requires only a short warm-up time. It is also possible to satisfactorily fix conductive developing agent on plain paper.

An electrostatographic apparatus has a driving roller, a tension roller, a belt-like recording medium that moves over the roller in an endless track manner, an ion head that forms an electrostatic image on the surface of the recording medium, a development apparatus that develops the electrostatic image to form a toner image, and a heat transfer unit that transfers the toner image onto the recording sheet by Ion-Deposition imaging techniques (or by electrophotographic techniques). The toner remaining on the recording medium is removed by applying a direct-current to the development apparatus.
摘要:
An auxiliary substrate is provided so as to face a main substrate to which ink is supplied and the pattern of a voltage applied to an auxiliary electrode array formed on the auxiliary substrate is controlled. In a printing operation, the coloring material components are sent to the vicinity of an ink droplet emitting outlet and the coloring material components in the ink where the coloring material is dispersed in solvent are concentrated. Then, they are emitted from the ink droplet emitting outlet in the form of ink droplets and are forced to fly at a printing medium, thereby printing on the medium. In a non-printing operation, the auxiliary electrode array is controlled so that the coloring material components may be kept away from the ink droplet emitting outlet and the concentration of the coloring material components in the ink near the ink droplet emitting outlet is made lower than in a printing operation.
摘要:
An ink jet printing apparatus, in which the ink having colorants distributed in a solvent is supplied over the electrode array on the surface of the head substrate such that the electrode array is completely covered by the ink, while voltages are applied to the electrode array to produce an electric field for exerting an electrostatic force on the colorants in the ink such that the colorants are compressed and ejected toward a recording medium. Each individual electrode constituting the electrode array can have a tip end portion projecting from the surface of the head substrate. The apparatus also has an element for compressing colorants distributed in a solvent of an ink and an element for ejecting the compressed colorants toward a recording medium which are provided separately. In addition, the apparatus can incorporate an element for conveying colorants in the ink through the ink supply passage toward the colorant ejection point on the electrode array.

In the ink jet recording apparatus for recording an image by supplying ink obtained by dispersing color material components in a solvent to a head substrate and by jetting ink drops containing at least the color material components to a recording medium on the basis of electrostatic force applied to the color material components, the recording apparatus comprises a driving circuit (107) for applying voltages to electrodes of an electrode array (102) arranged on a head substrate (101), in such a way that a first potential difference whose potential level relationship is reversed at a predetermined period between the two adjacent electrodes can be applied when the color material components are cohered and/or stirred on the head substrate, and a second potential difference different from the first potential difference between the two adjacent electrodes can be applied when the ink drops are jetted toward a recording medium. In this ink jet recording apparatus, a stable recording can be made by uniformalizing the density of the ink color material components on the head substrate and further by preventing the color material components from adhering onto the electrode.
