| 20100092885 | IMAGE FORMING MATERIAL - An image forming material includes a perimidine-substituted squarylium dye that has a structure represented by the following formula (I) and shows diffraction peaks at least at Bragg angles (2θ±0.2°) of 17.7°, 19.9°, 22.1°, 23.2° and 24.9° in its X-ray powder diffraction spectrum measured by irradiation with X rays generated from a Cu target with a wavelength of 1.5405 angstroms: | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100202790 | FIXING DEVICE, IMAGE-FORMING DEVICE, AND FIXING METHOD - A fixing device includes: a fixing unit that irradiates light to a color material transferred to a medium at a position specified by image data, to fix the color material on the medium; and a control unit that controls irradiation of light of the fixing unit so that an energy of light irradiated to an image-forming area on the medium including an area in which the color material has been transferred at the position specified by the image data is lower than an energy of light irradiated to a non image-forming area on the medium other than the image-forming area. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20110044741 | LASER FIXING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A laser fixing apparatus includes a laser light generator that generates laser light to be projected onto a recording medium; and a first condenser that reflects and condenses light reflected at an irradiation position of the laser light, such that the reflected light reenters at the irradiation position or near the irradiation position. The first condenser has a concave cylindrical surface and is arranged such that a center axis position of the cylindrical surface is located at the irradiation position of the laser light or near the irradiation position, and a reflecting surface of the first condenser is covered by a light transmitting body. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110058867 | FIXING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND TONER IMAGE FIXING METHOD - According to an aspect of the invention, a fixing device includes a laser beam irradiation unit and a conveying unit. The laser beam irradiation unit includes a plurality of laser beam sources and emits a plurality of laser beams to a surface of a recording medium. The conveying unit conveys the recording medium and/or the laser beam irradiation unit so that irradiated regions irradiated with the laser beams are moved in a given direction. When the plurality of laser beams is emitted to a toner image to fix the toner image, the plurality of laser beams satisfies conditions (A) and (B). The condition (A) is that the plurality of laser beams has substantially the same beam power and substantially the same width. The condition (B) is that the plurality of laser beams is independently emitted to the toner image. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110059270 | RECORDING MEDIUM AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - The present invention provides a recording medium containing a first image formed with a first recording material; and a second image comprising a first region formed with a second recording material having approximately the same light fastness as that of the first recording material, and a second region formed with a third recording material having higher light fastness than that of the first recording material, a color of the second region being a color corresponding to any stage of a process of discoloration of the first region. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110064448 | LASER FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - According to an aspect of the invention, a laser fixing device includes a laser beam generating device and an airflow generating unit. The laser beam generating device generates laser beams and irradiates a recording medium transported with the laser beams. The airflow generating unit generates airflow flowing between the laser beam generating device and the recording medium. A flow speed of the airflow in a transport direction of the recording medium in an irradiation position of the laser beams is higher than a transport speed of the recording medium. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110158721 | LASER FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A laser fixing device includes: a laser beam irradiating device which irradiates a recording medium that is conveyed while carrying an unfixed toner image, with a laser beam; and a laser beam absorbing member which is disposed in an optical path of the laser beam that is emitted to a back side of a position where the recording medium is conveyed, and which absorbs the laser beam. | 06-30-2011 |
