Zusammenfassung: | To provide an image formation system with which it is possible to suppress occurrence of image defects to a varnish image that is formed on top of a toner image.SOLUTION: When a toner image is fixed to a varnish image forming screen (S3), a recording medium is reconveyed to a secondary transfer unit (S4, S5). A voltage larger than or equal to a discharge voltage is applied to a secondary transfer outer roller that forms the secondary transfer unit (S6). This causes a discharge to occur on the varnish image forming screen side, resulting in development of positive and negative ions to a toner, and a surface of the toner image is coated by a coating of these ions. For an aqueous varnish, adhesion of the toner image and the aqueous varnish can be reduced by formation of coating by positive ions, and the adhesion of the toner image and the aqueous varnish can be increased by formation of coating by negative ions. For an oily and a UV varnish, a voltage of the polarity that is opposite the aqueous varnish is applied so as to cause a discharge to occur. By performing such discharge processing, it is possible to suppress occurrence of image defects such as "bleeding" and "repelling" to the varnish image that is formed on top of the toner image.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
【課題】トナー像に重ねて形成するニス画像に画像不良が生じるのを抑制可能な画像形成システムの提供。【解決手段】ニス画像形成面にトナー像が定着された場合(S3)、記録材を二次転写部へ再搬送する(S4、S5)。二次転写部を形成する二次転写外ローラには、放電電圧以上の電圧が印加される(S6)。そうすると、ニス画像形成面側で放電が生じ、トナーに正イオンや負イオンが現出して、トナー像の表面はこれらイオンの被膜によりコーティングされる。水性ニスの場合、正イオンによる被膜を生成することでトナー像と水性ニスとの付着性を低下でき、負イオンによる被膜を生成することでトナーと水性ニスとの付着性を向上できる。油性ニスやUVニスの場合は、水性ニスと反対の極性の電圧を印加して放電を生じさせる。こうした放電処理を行うことで、トナー像に重ねて形成するニス画像に「にじみ」や「はじき」などの画像不良が生じるのを抑制できる。【選択図】図4 |
