Fixing apparatus for nonheat fixing system

摘要

A fixing apparatus (90) causes a softener to adhere to a toner image and then fixes the toner image onto a recording body (P). The toner image is formed using a liquid developer (45) comprising a toner and carrier solution. The fixing apparatus (90) comprises a fixing roller (91) as a softener feeding device for feeding a fixer (93) containing a softener to a transfer paper (P) which is a recording body (P), and a pressurizing roller (96) as a pressurizing device for pressurizing the transfer paper (P) at a fixing nip which is a softener feeding position to which the fixer (93) is fed. As the softener contained in the fixer (93), the one having an affinity for the carrier solution is used.
