Problems solved by technology

When using this method, if two or more sheets of recording media such as paper on which images are formed correspondingly are stacked on top of each other, image bleed-through or offset may occur, or image bleeding due to bleed-through or offset may occur. The resulting image missing in the medium (missing)

no. 1 approach

[0020] figure 1 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a fixing device according to an embodiment. A recording medium P on which an image composed of resin particles (hereinafter referred to as "unfixed toner image T") is formed by an image forming unit not shown is conveyed to the fixing device 100 according to the first embodiment.

[0021] The fixing device 100 includes a fixing portion 105 and an anti-sticking agent applying device 150 configured to apply an anti-sticking agent to the fixed toner image T′ after the unfixed toner image T is fixed to the recording medium P. The section 105 includes: a bubble fixer generator 110 configured to generate a fixer (liquid fixer) L in a foam state (hereinafter also referred to as “bubble fixer”); an application roller 120 configured to carry the bubble fixer L' generated by the bubble fixer generator 110 to apply the bubble fixer L' to the unfixed toner image T on the recording medium; the blade 130 configured to c...

[0038] figure 2 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a fixing device according to a second embodiment. according to figure 2 The fixing device 100 of the illustrated second embodiment includes a spray-type anti-sticking agent applying device 150 . In this configuration, the anti-sticking agent supplied from the anti-sticking agent tank not shown is ejected from the anti-sticking agent nozzle 156, thereby applying the anti-sticking agent in mist form to the fixed toner image T on the recording medium. '.

[0039] Next, the formulation of the liquid state fixer is described. As described above, the fixer in a foam state is formed by introducing air bubbles into a liquid fixer containing a softener. It is preferable that the softener-containing liquid fixing agent contains a foaming agent and a foam accelerator to form a foamy fixing agent having uniformly sized cells in its cell layer. In addition, it is preferable that the softener-containing liquid fix...

no. 3 approach

[0059] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a fixing device according to a third embodiment. Such as Figure 5 As shown, according to the fixing device 100' of the third embodiment and figure 1 The fixing device 100 shown is different in that the fixing device 100' according to the third embodiment includes a pressure belt 140' instead of the pressure roller 140 as a pressure member configured to be fed to the coating roller 120 and positioned to face the pressure member. The recording medium P in the nip between the pressure belt 140' on the side of the coating roller 120 applies pressure, and the configuration other than having the pressure belt 140' remains the same as figure 1 The fixing device 100 is the same. Under this configuration, the fixing device 100' according to the third embodiment can easily widen the nip width of the pressure applying portion. Preferable examples of the pressure belt 140' include, but are not limited to, belts o...

Abstract

The invention relates to a fixing device and an image forming apparatus. The disclosed fixing device includes a fixer application unit configured to apply a fixer containing a softener, capable of softening resin by dissolving or swelling at least a part of the resin, and water to resin particles formed on a recording medium such that the resin particles are fixed on the recording medium, and an anti-tack agent application unit configured to apply a liquid anti-tack agent immiscible with the softener to surfaces of the resin particles that are mixed with the softener by the application of the fixer containing the softener.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fixing device and an image forming apparatus having such a fixing device. Background technique [0002] Image forming apparatuses such as printers, facsimile machines, copiers, and multifunction peripherals having these functions are generally configured to form images including characters or symbols based on image information on recording media such as paper, cloth, and OHP sheets. In particular, electrophotographic image forming apparatuses are widely used to form high-definition images composed of resin particles on plain paper at high speed. Note that the resin particles refer to particles containing resin as one of their components. The toner has particles particularly used in electrophotographic image forming devices. The toner contains materials that produce functions required for image formation by an electrophotographic image forming apparatus, such as a charge control agent that produces electrostatic prop...
