PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for forming an image onto a non-fixing system image receiving sheet so that smear resistance is satisfactory, and to provide a sheet reproducing method and device by which toner is smoothly removed from the sheet and the sheet is reproduced so as to be reusable. SOLUTION: The method and apparatus are for forming an image on the non-fixing system image receiving sheet 1 which has, on its surface, groove-like recesses s1 and projections s2 formed along the recesses, allows the formation of a toner image by removably attaching toner T to the recesses, and protects the toner image with the projections. In the method and apparatus, after the toner image is formed by attaching the toner T to the recesses s1 of the sheet 1, heat is applied to the toner T forming the toner image, then the toner particles are slightly melted to such a degree that the toner can be removed from the sheet. The sheet on which the toner image is formed can be recycled by removing the toner image with a toner reproducing device 6. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
