<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a high-quality image by preventing contraction deformation of the image caused by heating drying. <P>SOLUTION: A processing liquid containing a component which agglomerates a coloring material is given to a medium P by a processing liquid giving means 12. Droplets of ink containing the coloring material and thermoplastic resin particles in a solvent are struck by an ink droplet striking means 14 onto a medium P to which the processing liquid is given. An ink film on the medium P is heated and dried by an ink drying means 15. The ink film on the medium P is heated in a state of T<MFT+20°degrees untilαdecreases to 2.0 or lower from a state where it exceeds 2.0 when a solvent content of the ink film formed on the medium (volume of the solvent per unit area in the ink film/volume of a solid content per unit surface) is madeα, a minimum film forming temperature of the resin particles is made MFT, and a film surface temperature of the ink film is made T. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
