Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable an image with high image quality to be transferred stably, by generating an electric field pattern according to image information on an ink-repellent surface of an image-forming substrate, bringing an ink into contact with the pattern to form an ink image, and transferring the ink image onto a transfer recording material. CONSTITUTION:First, an ink-repellent surface layer 2 is provided on an image- forming substrate 1. A repellent material to be used may be, for example, a silicone resin and a fluororesin. An electric field pattern corresponding to image information is formed on the ink-repellent surface by, for example, a corona discharger 4. The electric pattern part is enhanced in wettability by an ink due to the polarity thereof, and when the ink is brought into contact with the electric field pattern, an ink image 5 is formed. The ink image is transferred onto a transfer recording material such as a paper, whereby an ink image can be again formed by applying the ink to the surface of the ink left in a thin form at the ink image part, by utilizing the difference between the adhesion of the ink to the formed ink image and that to the ink repellent surface, and printing can be repeated.

(3) Ink image forming step The electric field pattern portion formed by the electric field obtained in accordance with the image information on the ink-repellent surface has polarity, thereby improving wettability to the ink. When ink is brought into contact with this ink-repellent surface, ink adheres to the electric field pattern that has become ink-adhesive due to electrostatic induction or the like, forming an ink image. On the other hand, since the area other than the electric field pattern portion on the ink-repellent surface has no polarity, ink does not adhere to the area. Various means can be used to deposit ink onto the electric field pattern. One embodiment of a preferred method involves contacting an ink-soaked sponge roller with an ink-repellent surface to form an ink image. With this method, the adhesion force of ink to the sponge roller is superior to the slight ink adhesion force in the non-electric field pattern area, so ink does not adhere to the non-electric field pattern area, and stains in the non-image area are extremely reduced. - (4) Printing process The ink image is transferred to a transfer target such as paper. By utilizing the difference in ink adhesion between the ink image once formed and the ink-repellent surface, that is, the difference between the ink adhesion on the ink image and the ink non-adhesion on the non-ink area, the ink that remains thinly on the ink image area is removed. Reprint printing can be performed by applying ink to the surface of the ink, forming an ink image again, and transferring it to the object to be transferred.
