Abstract
An inkjet recording apparatus records an image onto a recording medium by using an ink containing a coloring material, and the inkjet recording apparatus has: a first treatment agent deposition device which deposits a first treatment agent having a function of suppressing permeation of liquid into the recording medium, onto the recording medium; a second treatment agent deposition device which deposits a second treatment agent having at least one of a function of aggregating the coloring material contained in the ink and a function of increasing viscosity of the ink, onto the recording medium; an image processing device which converts input image data into dot data; and an ink droplet ejection head which ejects droplets of the ink onto the recording medium in accordance with the dot data.
Claims26
An inkjet recording apparatus which records an image onto a recording medium by using an ink containing a coloring material, the inkjet recording apparatus comprising:
- a first treatment agent deposition device which deposits a first treatment agent having a function of suppressing permeation of liquid into the recording medium, onto the recording medium;
- a second treatment agent deposition device which deposits a second treatment agent having at least one of a function of aggregating the coloring material contained in the ink and a function of increasing viscosity of the ink, onto the recording medium;
- an image processing device which converts input image data into dot data;
- and
- an ink droplet ejection head which ejects droplets of the ink onto the recording medium in accordance with the dot data.
An image recording method of recording an image by using an ink containing a coloring material onto a recording medium, the image recording method comprising:
- a first treatment agent deposition step of depositing a first treatment agent having a function of suppressing permeation of liquid into the recording medium, onto the recording medium;
- a second treatment agent deposition step of depositing a second treatment agent having a function of aggregating the coloring material contained in the ink or a function of increasing viscosity of the ink, onto the recording medium on which the first treatment agent has been deposited, after the first treatment agent deposition step;
- and
- an ink droplet ejection step of ejecting droplets of the ink onto the recording medium on which the second treatment agent has been deposited in accordance with dot data derived from input image data, after the second treatment agent deposition step.
An image forming method, comprising:
- a resin solution deposition step of depositing a resin solution in which a resin is dispersed or dissolved, onto a medium;
- a medium heating step of heating the medium;
- and
- an image forming step of ejecting droplets of ink, according to an inkjet method, onto the medium which has been subjected to resin solution deposition processing in the resin liquid deposition step and which has been subjected to heat treatment in the medium heating step in such a manner that an image is formed on the medium by the droplets of the ink.
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a resin solution deposition device which deposits a resin solution in which a resin is dispersed or dissolved, onto a medium;
- a medium beating device which heats the medium;
- and
- an image forming device which ejects droplets of ink according to an inkjet method onto the medium which has been subjected to a resin liquid deposition processing by the resin liquid deposition device and which has been subjected to a heat treatment by the medium heating device, so as to form an image on the medium.
