Method and system for forming an image based upon variable adhesion force of developer and image forming surface

摘要

Toner is placed on to the image-forming surface and then is transferred onto the image-carrying medium based upon adhesion force. A sharp image is formed without suffering from the dispersion of toner during the transfer process. In addition, the adhesion force-based image forming device is simpler in construction and advantageously produces substantially no ozone. One preferred embodiment transfers heat sensitive toner to an image-carrying medium by increasing the adhesion force of the toner and almost simultaneously decreasing the adhesion force of the image-forming surface with the raised temperature.
