Abstract
A liquid applying apparatus includes a liquid applier, a conveyor, a humidifier, and a dielectric heater. The liquid applier applies liquid to a print target. The conveyor conveys the print target to the liquid applier along a conveyance path in a conveyance direction. The humidifier is disposed upstream from the liquid applier in the conveyance direction. The humidifier applies water to the print target on the conveyance path. The dielectric heater is disposed downstream from the humidifier and upstream from the liquid applier in the conveyance direction. The dielectric heater heats the print target on the conveyance path and supplies the water generated from the print target to the humidifier.
