<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transfer ink jet recording apparatus including an intermediate transfer member which can stably maintain hydrophilicity even when left over a long time and form an excellent image due to high retentivity of an intermediate image. <P>SOLUTION: The transfer ink jet recording apparatus includes: the intermediate transfer member that is arranged on a substrate and has a surface containing at least one material of fluorine-containing rubber and silicone rubber, the surface being subjected to a modification treatment by a plasma treatment and an application treatment with a compound represented by the general formula (1) defined in the specification; an application unit for applying a component that causes ink viscosity increase to the modification-treatment-subjected surface of the intermediate transfer member; an ink jet recording unit for ejecting an ink on the intermediate transfer member to which the component has been applied to form an intermediate image; and a transfer unit for transferring the intermediate image formed on the intermediate transfer member to a recording medium. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
