The image forming unit forms an image on a medium, using a heat-sensitive ink whose color changes depending on temperatures. The coloring change unit heats or cools an image formed by the image forming unit to change a coloring condition of the image. The preventing unit is disposed between the coloring change unit and the image forming unit and prevents air heated or cooled by the coloring change unit from flowing to the image forming unit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
