The ink jet image forming apparatus (10) has a forming device (12) for forming an image on a recording medium (P), using ink containing particles including at least a colorant and a solvent, a fixing device (20) for performing heat-fixing of the image formed by the forming device (12) to thereby obtain a fixed image, a solvent removing device (14) for removing the solvent in the ink forming the image before the heat-fixing by the fixing device (20), and a liquid coating device (16) for coating the recording medium (P) with a fixing assistant liquid for accelerating the heat-fixing of the image formed with the ink. |
