20090263584 | IMAGE QUALITY IMPROVEMENT TREATMENT LIQUID, IMAGE QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - An image quality improvement treatment liquid is disclosed that improves quality of an image formed on a medium by reacting with color materials in ink and agglutinating the color materials upon contact with the ink including water and color materials to be ionized in water or color materials to be ionized in water due to absorption with components having ionic characteristics in water. The image quality improvement treatment liquid includes at least one of cationic components and components capable of acidizing water, at least one of nonionic surfactant and amphoteric surfactant as a foaming agent, and water-insoluble fatty acid. | 10-22-2009 |
20100310290 | FIXING MEMBER, MANUFACTURING METHOD OF FIXING MEMBER, ROTATIONAL BODY OF FIXING MEMBER, FIXING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A fixing member is included on a fixing rotational body having a heat source built therein. The fixing rotational body is configured to fix unfixed toner onto a recording medium as the recording medium carrying the unfixed toner passes through a nip portion formed between the fixing rotational body and a pressurizing unit that comes into pressure contact with the fixing rotational body via the recording medium. The fixing member is made of silicon rubber including carbon fiber, wherein vacant spaces are formed in the silicon rubber. | 12-09-2010 |
20110013957 | FIXING LIQUID, FIXING METHOD, FIXING UNIT, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - Disclosed is a fixing liquid containing a softening agent that softens resin-containing fine particles by dissolving or swelling at least a part of the resin; a C12-C18 fatty acid; and a C12-C18 fatty acid salt. The fixing liquid is mixed with water serving as a dilution solvent. | 01-20-2011 |
