Transfer inkjet printer device

Abstract

The invention relates to a transfer inkjet printer device including an intermediate transfer body including an intermediate transfer surface capable of moving along a rotation route; an inkjet head used to discharge ink including toner particles onto the intermediate transfer surface at a first area in the rotation route in a state where the toner particles are charged, so as to form an intermediate image composed of an ink layer on the intermediate transfer surface; a pressure device used to press the ink layer of the intermediate image on the intermediate transfer surface, onto a surface of a recording medium at a second area in the rotation route; and an electric field application device used to electrophorese the charged toner particles in the ink layer of the intermediate image toward the recording medium at the second area.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a transfer type inkjet printing device. [0002] This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2013-27082 for which it applied in Japan on February 14, 2013, and uses the content here. Background technique [0003] Conventionally, a transfer type inkjet printing method is known as one of the printing methods. In the transfer inkjet printing method, on the surface of an intermediate transfer body such as a transfer belt or a transfer roller, ink containing toner particles is discharged by an inkjet method to form an intermediate image, and the intermediate image is Transfer to the surface of recording media such as paper and various sheets, and form the final image on the recording media. Cardboard, cardboard, resin sheet, cloth, etc. are used as the recording medium. [0004] As a device (transfer inkjet printing device) for implementing such a transfer inkjet printing method, there have been prop...

Problems solved by technology

However, in conventional transfer-type inkjet printing devices, depending on the type and surface texture of the recording medium, it is difficult to form a high-quality printed image that satisfies these requirements on the surface of the recording medium.

For example, in the case of a recording medium with poor wettability of inkjet ink, or a recording medium with poor surface properties and fluff (recording medium with rough surface), it may not be possible to form a high-quality printed image that satisfies all these requirements.
