An image forming apparatus is provided in which the anti-blocking property of the ink is largely improved, while maintaining high bonding strength of the ink to the printing paper. The latent image formed on the photosensitive belt 1 by a laser or the like is developed by a developing roller 3 using an ink 2 composed of toner particles dispersed in a specified solvent. After development, a designated amount of the solvent of the ink 2 is removed by a squeezing roller 4, and the surface of the photosensitive belt 1 is coated with a cross-linking material a for cross-linking the molecular structure of the ink 2 by a vessel 10 storing the cross-linking material a and a roller 8 which are disposed in contact with the photosensitive belt 1 between the squeezing roller 4 and a transfer roller 5. The ink used for development on the photosensitive belt is cross-linked and dried to be fixed on the printing paper 7 inserted between the transfer roller 5 and the fuser roller 6, both of which have an internal heater.
