20090010691 | IMAGE GLOSSING APPARATUS - The present invention provides a glossing apparatus including first and second heating rotating members which contact each other to form a nip part, an toner image on a recording material being heated in the nip part; a cooling unit which cools the recording material, moved while contacting the first heating rotating member, before the recording material is separated from the first heating rotating member; and a mode performing unit which performs a high-gloss mode and a low-gloss mode, the recording material is conveyed to and heated by the nip part such that the toner image contact the first heating rotating member in the high-gloss mode, the recording material is conveyed to and heated by the nip part such that the toner image contact the second heating rotating member in the low-gloss mode. | 01-08-2009 |
20090279109 | IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - An image forming system includes an image forming portion for forming a transparent image on a sheet by using transparent toner; an obtaining portion for obtaining a size of the sheet on which an image is to be formed; a storing portion for storing image data, for forming the transparent image on an entire image formable area of the sheet with the transparent toner, for each of a plurality of predetermined sheets different in size from each other; and a control portion for controlling the image forming portion so that the transparent image is formed on the sheet on the basis of the image data corresponding to the size of the sheet obtained by the obtaining portion. | 11-12-2009 |
20100021194 | IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM, IMAGE FORMATION METHOD, AND IMAGE QUALITY IMPROVEMENT METHOD - An image formation system includes image forming means for forming different color toner images on a recording material having a toner reception layer; first image heating means for heating and pressing the toner image on the recording material; second image heating means for heating and pressing the toner image on the recording material having been heated and pressed by the first image heating means; and wherein the first image heating means is operable so as to provide a granularity R of the toner image satisfying 0.5≦R≦4.0 and a glossiness G of the toner image satisfying 5≦G≦40, and the second image heating means is operable so as to provide a granularity R of the toner image satisfying not more than 4.0 and a glossiness G of the toner image satisfying not less than 60. | 01-28-2010 |
20100028064 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - The present invention provides an image forming apparatus including a first toner image forming portion which forms a toner image at a recording material and heats the recording material at which the toner image is formed, a second toner image forming portion which forms a toner image at the recording material heated at the first toner image forming portion and heats the recording material to which the toner image is formed, and a preliminary heating member which heats the toner image on an image bearing member of the second image forming portion before the toner image is transferred to the recording material. | 02-04-2010 |
20100195126 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, PROGRAM, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - In the case where a sheet on which a transparent toner image is to be formed has high glossiness, when the transparent toner image is formed in an area in which a user wishes to partly increase the glossiness, the glossiness in the area in which the user wishes to increase the glossiness is lowered. For that reason, a print as desired by the user cannot be obtained by fixing the transparent toner image in an area corresponding to the area in which the user wishes to increase the glossiness. | 08-05-2010 |
20100196022 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, PROGRAM, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - In the case where a sheet on which a transparent toner image is to be formed has low glossiness, when the transparent toner image is formed in a area in which a user wishes to partly lower the glossiness, the glossiness in the area in which the user wishes to lower the glossiness is increased. For that reason, a print as desired by the user cannot be obtained by fixing the transparent toner image in an area corresponding to the area in which the user wishes to lower the glossiness. | 08-05-2010 |
20100196023 | CONTROL APPARATUS, PROGRAM, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - A control apparatus configured to control an image forming system, in forming a transparent image so as to cover color images fixed on a sheet, applies a transparent toner on an area on which an image can be formed and which is other than an area that a user desires to increase the glossiness thereof. | 08-05-2010 |
20100196024 | CONTROL APPARATUS, PROGRAM, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - A control apparatus configured to control an image forming system, in forming a transparent toner on a sheet having color toners formed and fixed thereon, applies a transparent toner on an area on which an image can be formed and which is other than an area that a user desires to reduce the glossiness thereof. | 08-05-2010 |
20100221048 | IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM, SMOOTHING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD - An image forming system includes image forming means for forming toner images on toner receiving resin layers of respective sides of a recording material; fixing means for heat fixing the toner images on the recording material in a fixing nip; and smoothing means for smoothing the toner receiving resin layers of the recording material having the toner images formed by the fixing means; wherein the system is operable in an image formation mode in which the toner images formed on the respective sides of the recording material are fixed by the fixing means sequentially, and then the toner receiving resin layers of the recording material are smoothed by the smoothing means sequentially. | 09-02-2010 |
20120263482 | CONTROL APPARATUS, PROGRAM, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - A control apparatus configured to control an image forming system, in forming a transparent image so as to cover color images fixed on a sheet, applies a transparent toner on an area on which an image can be formed and which is other than an area that a user desires to increase the glossiness thereof. | 10-18-2012 |
