Abstract
An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording medium by ejecting a recording liquid to the recording medium at a recording part is disclosed. The image forming apparatus includes a conveyor belt for conveying the recording medium to the recording part, the conveyor belt satisfying a relation of γ>γc, wherein γ (mN/m) is a static surface tension of the recording liquid at 25° C., and γc (mN/m) is a critical surface tension of the conveyor belt, wherein the recording liquid contains a color material in a disperse state.
Claims17
An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording medium by ejecting a recording liquid to the recording medium at a recording part, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- a conveyor belt for conveying the recording medium to the recording part, the conveyor belt satisfying a relation of γ>γc,
- wherein γ (mN/m) is a static surface tension of the recording liquid at 25° C., and γc (mN/m) is a critical surface tension of the conveyor belt,
- wherein the recording liquid contains a color material in a dispersed state.
A recording liquid for being ejected to a recording medium conveyed by a conveyor belt, the recording liquid comprising:
- a color material in a dispersed state,
- wherein the recording medium satisfies a relation of γ>γc,
- wherein γ (mN/m) is a static surface tension of the recording liquid at 25° C., and γc (mN/m) is a critical surface tension of the conveyor belt.
A conveyor belt for conveying a recording medium to a recording part at which a recording liquid is ejected onto the recording medium, the conveyor belt comprising:
- a belt part satisfying a relation of γ>γc,
- wherein γ (mN/m) is a static surface tension of the recording liquid at 25° C., and γc (mN/m) is a critical surface tension of the belt part of the conveyor belt,
- wherein the recording liquid contains a color material in a dispersed state.
