Zusammenfassung: | A heat fixing apparatus has a heating unit for heating a recording medium (M) having a substrate (1), a fixing layer (12) and a surface layer (13) so as to sublimate sublimating ink applied in advance to the surface layer for transferring the sublimated ink to the fixing layer. The heating unit includes a heating transporting mechanism for transporting the recording medium (M) within a heating space (R), a heater body (60) for heating air, and a blower mechanism (62) for supplying hot air heated by the heater body to the recording medium being transported by the heating transporting mechanism. The apparatus further includes a flat guide member (57) for coming into contact with the surface of the recording medium (M) being transported by the heating transporting mechanism and a heater (58) for heating the guide member (57). |
