Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus and an image forming method with which image representation to provide glossiness on a necessary toner image part, and image representation that is inconspicuous under visible light and visible under non-visible light that is weak visible light on the rear face of a printing surface, can both be achieved.SOLUTION: There is provided an image forming apparatus including: a plurality of image forming means for each forming a color image by overlapping, on a medium, a toner image developed on an image carrier by using a toner; and switching means for switching the order of lamination of the toner images on the medium, where the toner includes a toner that emits light upon irradiation with non-visible light, and the switching means switches the order of lamination of the toner image developed by using the toner that emits light upon irradiation of non-visible light. Also provided is an image forming method of applying a function to the image forming apparatus.
【課題】必要なトナー画像部分に光沢を出す画像表現と、印刷面裏面において可視光線下では目立たなくなり、可視光が弱い非可視光下では可視である画像表現とが両立可能な画像形成装置および画像形成方法を提供する。【解決手段】像担持体上においてトナーを用いて現像されたトナー画像を媒体上に重ね合わせてカラー画像を形成する複数の画像形成手段と、前記媒体に対する前記トナー画像の積層順を切り替える切り替え手段とを備え、前記トナーには非可視光の照射により発光するトナーが含まれ、前記切り替え手段は、前記非可視光の照射により発光するトナーが用いられたトナー画像の積層順を切り替えることを特徴とする画像形成装置及び当該機能を画像形成装置に対して適用させる画像形成方法。【選択図】 図1 |
