IMAGE FORMING METHOD AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

A liquid droplet containing thermosetting or ultraviolet curing adhesive material is jetted out to either of a transfer member (5) or an image receiving member (11) so as to correspond to a shape of an image so that a latent image is formed. The transfer member (5) and the image receiving member (11) are brought into close contact with each other so that the latent image is interposed between the transfer member (5) and the image receiving member (11). Then, heat or ultraviolet ray is applied for curing the adhesive material so that a transfer material formed on the transfer member (5) is fixed to the image receiving member (11) through the cured adhesive material. Then, the transfer member (5) and the image receiving member (11) are separated from each other so that only the fixed transfer material is transferred to the image receiving member (11). As a result, a required image is formed.
