PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recording apparatus simplifying a powder removing mechanism by enhancing a transfer ratio and preventing the deterioration of an intermediate transfer body while certainly and uniformly applying a water absorbable powder to the intermediate transfer body and capable of preventing not only the scattering of the powder into the apparatus but also the formation of an abnormal image caused by the insufficiency of the thickening of the water absorbable powder. SOLUTION: In a recording apparatus equipped with a material forming device 10 for preforming a layer of a material 11 capable of being dissolved or swollen by a liquid and rising in viscosity after swelling on an intermediate transfer body 21, an image forming device 30 ejecting a liquid to the intermediate transfer body corresponding to an image signal to form an image on the intermediate transfer body and a transfer device 50 for transferring the image on a recording material, the intermediate transfer body 21 is constituted of a substance showing liquid repellency to the liquid. |
