Abstract
An image forming system includes an image holding unit that is rotatably provided and that holds an image formed by means of a charged image forming material, a transfer unit that transfers the image hold by the image holding unit to a medium by using a transfer electric field, a fine particle applying unit that periodically or irregularly applies lubricant fine particles to the image holding unit, and a transfer control unit that controls the transfer electric field of the transfer unit depending on a state of application of the fine particles on the image holding unit.
Claims12
An image forming system comprising:
- an image holding unit that is rotatably provided and that holds an image formed by means of a charged image forming material;
- a transfer unit that transfers the image hold by the image holding unit to a medium by using a transfer electric field;
- a fine particle applying unit that periodically or irregularly applies lubricant fine particles to the image holding unit;
- and
- a transfer control unit that controls the transfer electric field of the transfer unit depending on a state of application of the fine particles on the image holding unit.
An image forming system comprising:
- image holding means for holding an image formed by means of a charged image forming material, the image holding means being rotatably provided;
- transferring means for transferring the image hold by the image holding means to a medium by using a transfer electric field;
- fine particle applying means for periodically or irregularly applying lubricant fine particles to the image holding means;
- and
- transfer controlling means for controlling the transfer electric field of the transferring means depending on a state of application of the fine particles on the image holding means.
