20090027473 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING RECORD PRODUCT, AND INTERMEDIATE TRANSFER BODY AND IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS USED THEREFOR - In the image-recording of an intermediate transfer system applying an ink jet recording method, reactive liquid reactable with ink is properly formed on the intermediate transfer body. By using the intermediate transfer body having a pattern consisting of lyophilic and lyophobic sections on a surface thereof, the reactive liquid is uniformly applied to the intermediate transfer body to form a layer having a suitable thickness. Thereby, it is possible to form an ink image on the intermediate transfer body while preventing the miss landing of ink droplets and restricting the deformation of an ink dots. By transferring this ink image to a recording medium, it is possible to form a high-quality ink image on various kinds of recording media in a stable manner. | 01-29-2009 |
20090128610 | IMAGE FORMING PROCESS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - Disclosed herein is an image forming process comprising the steps of applying a first material for improving the wettability of the surface of an intermediate transfer medium to the intermediate transfer medium, applying a second material for lowering the flowability of an ink to the intermediate transfer medium to which the first material has been applied, applying the ink to the intermediate transfer medium, to which the first material and second material have been applied, from an ink-jet recording head to form an image of the ink on the intermediate transfer medium, and transferring the ink image formed to a recording medium. | 05-21-2009 |
20090175663 | IMAGE FIXING METHOD, METHOD FOR PRODUCING RECORD PRODUCT USING SUCH METHOD, AND IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS - To provide a method for fixing an image, wherein the image has a high fastness even immediately after being recorded, and is free from inconveniences such as thermal influence or unfavorable curing inherent to the conventional fixing device, as well as safety problems. To achieve such an object, in a method for fixing an image recorded on a recording medium with a recording material containing a component curable by a plasma processing, the image is fixed on the recording medium by the plasma processing at a normal pressure. | 07-09-2009 |
20100060703 | IMAGE FORMING METHOD AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - Provided are an image forming method and image forming apparatus capable of always stably transferring an ink image on an intermediate transfer body to a printing medium and stably obtaining an image with high quality. Formation and drying operation of the image using an inkjet method are repeated a plurality of times to obtain the image on the intermediate transfer body and the thus obtained image is transferred from the intermediate transfer body to a printing medium to form the image. At this time, a capability of the drying operation finally performed among a plurality of times of the drying operations is more lowered than those of all the drying operations except the drying operation finally performed. | 03-11-2010 |
20100118096 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image by using liquid, a conveyance mechanism having a roller configured to convey a medium on which the image is formed by the image forming unit or a transfer belt for transferring to a medium an intermediate image formed by the image forming unit, and wherein the roller has a discharge surface on which one or a plurality of holes is formed to blow gas toward the medium or the transfer belt conveyed by the conveyance mechanism. | 05-13-2010 |
20100295890 | IMAGE FORMING METHOD - The invention provides an image forming method having a step of applying an ink containing a coloring material to a recording medium by an ink jet recording system and a step of applying a reaction liquid which reacts with the ink to the recording medium, in which the ink is brought into contact with the reaction liquid on the recording medium, thereby forming an image, wherein the reaction liquid contains an oil and fat component having an iodine value of 100 or more. | 11-25-2010 |
20120105561 | TRANSFER INKJET RECORDING METHOD - A transfer inkjet recording method includes the step of applying an aggregating agent onto an image-forming face of an intermediate transfer member, having a pattern including lyophilic portions and a lyophobic portion, the step of forming an intermediate image by applying an ink onto the image-forming face, and the step of transferring the intermediate image to a recording medium from the image-forming face. The lyophilic portions include at least two types of portions having different areas. | 05-03-2012 |
20140182775 | MANUFACTURING METHOD OF STRUCTURE AND MANUFACTURING APPARATUS - A manufacturing method of a structure includes providing a stack of a first material layer to be a part of the structure and a restricting member wherein the first material layer is provided on a surface of the structure in the process of formation, and a part of the restricting member is provided on a surface of the first material layer in reverse of the surface of the structure in the process of formation, providing a support member between the restricting member and the surface of the structure in the process of formation, removing the restricting member, and providing a second material layer to be a part of the structure on surfaces of the first material layer and the support member exposed by removing the restricting member. | 07-03-2014 |
20140374958 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING STRUCTURE - A manufacturing method of a structure includes, in this order: providing a layer constituted by a support member and a modeling layer by bringing a regulating surface of a regulating member into contact with the modeling layer provided on a surface of an intermediate transfer member, pouring a material for the support member which becomes the support member to fill the periphery of the modeling layer while the regulating surface abutting the modeling layer, and solidifying the material for the support member; removing the regulating member from the layer constituted by the support member and the modeling layer. | 12-25-2014 |
