Abstract
An image forming device includes a first development unit configured to form a first image on a recording medium with a first developer, a second development unit configured to form a second image on the recording medium with at least one of a plurality of second developers that are different from the first developer, and a print control unit configured to select the at least one of the plurality of second developers for forming the second image. The second developers are transparent developers, and the second image is a transparent image

An image forming method, comprising:
- transferring a transparent image formed with a transparent developer on a recording medium;
- fusing the transparent image on the recording medium;
- transferring a color image formed with a color developer on the recording medium, on which the transparent image has been fixed;
- and
- fusing the color image on the recording medium.
An image forming device, comprising:
- a first development unit configured to form a color image on a recording medium with a color developer;
- a second development unit configured to form a transparent image on the recording medium with a transparent developer;
- and
- a print control unit configured to control the first development unit and the second development unit, wherein
- the print control unit forms the color image using the first development unit on the recording medium on which the transparent image is formed, after forming the transparent image on the recording medium using the second development unit.
An image forming device, comprising:
- a first development unit configured to form a color image on a recording medium with a color developer;
- a second development unit configured to form a transparent image on the recording medium with a transparent developer;
- and
- a print control unit configured to control the first development unit and the second development unit, wherein
- the print control unit forms the transparent image on the recording medium using the second development unit, after forming the color image on the recording medium using the first development unit, and
- a particle size of the transparent developer is substantially identical with a particle size of the color developer.
