Device for applying solvent for forming an image

摘要

A device for applying a solvent for forming an image includes: a spray tank in which a solvent for forming an image is filled; a nozzle which is disposed at the spray tank and at which a plurality of nozzle holes which spray the solvent for forming an image are arranged so as to be aligned linearly at fixed intervals along a direction intersecting a conveying direction of an image recording material; and an actuator which displaces the nozzle toward the image recording material on a conveying path. Because the plurality of nozzle holes are arranged so as to be aligned linearly at fixed intervals, there is no dispersion in positions at which droplets of the solvent for forming an image land on an application surface. Accordingly, uniformity on the application surface of the solvent for forming an image is not impeded due to such dispersion.
