Image forming method

摘要

In an image forming method of wet fixing system, the fixing solution contains an ester compound represented by at least one of general formula (1) and general formula (2) below:
R11—(CO)—O—R12  General formula (1):where R11 represents a linear or branched alkyl group having at least one hydroxyl group and 2 to 11 carbon atoms, and R12 represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms;
R21—O—(CO)—R22—(CO)—O—R23  General formula (2):where R21 represents a linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R22 represents a linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group having at least one hydroxyl group and 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and R23 represents a linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

1. An image forming method comprising:
an electrostatic latent image formation step of forming an electrostatic latent image on an electrostatic latent image carrier; a development step of forming a toner image by developing the electrostatic latent image with a dry developer including a toner; a transfer step of transferring the toner image to an image support; and a fixing solution supply step of supplying, to the toner image transferred to the image support, a fixing solution that softens the toner, wherein the fixing solution contains an ester compound represented by at least one of general formula (1) and general formula (2) below:
R11—(CO)—O—R12  general formula (1): where R11 represents a linear or branched alkyl group having at least one hydroxyl group and 2 to 11 carbon atoms, and R12 represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms;
R21—O—(CO)—R22—(CO)—O—R23  general formula (2): where R21 represents a linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R22 represents a linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group having at least one hydroxyl group and 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and R23 represents a linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
