Post-processing device, image forming system, and rubbing component used in post-processing device and image forming system

Abstract

A post-processing device includes a transport section that transports a medium, on which an image formed using an imaging material and wax are held and which has passed through a fixing section that fixes the image of the medium by heating and pressurization, at a predetermined speed by nipping the medium, and a rubbing section that is located upstream or downstream of the transport section in a transport direction of the medium and that rubs a surface of the medium such that a layer thickness after passage of the wax held on the surface of the medium is reduced, in a case where the medium transported by the transport section passes through the rubbing section, in which the rubbing section has, at least on a surface, a rubbing portion in which fibers are arranged in a regular pattern in a direction intersecting the transport direction of the medium, and the rubbing portion comes into contact with the surface of the medium with portions of the fibers other than end portions.
