Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image forming method is provided. The image forming method includes the process of discharging an ink onto a recording medium. The ink comprises a cross-linking agent reactive with an acidic group and a resin having the acidic group reactive with the cross-linking agent. The recording medium has the acidic group reactive with the cross-linking agent on a surface thereof.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An image forming method comprising: discharging an ink onto a recording medium, the ink comprising a cross-linking agent reactive with an acidic group and a resin having the acidic group reactive with the cross-linking agent, the recording medium having the acidic group reactive with the cross-linking agent on a surface thereof. 2. The image forming method according to claim 1 , further comprising: subjecting the recording medium to at least one of a corona discharge treatment and a plasma irradiation treatment before the ink lands on the recording medium. 3. The image forming method according to claim 1 , wherein the cross-linking agent comprises at least one of a compound having oxazoline group and a compound having carbodiimide group. 4. The image forming method according to claim 1 , wherein the ink further comprises a photoacid generator. 5. The image forming method according to claim 4 , further comprising: irradiating the recording medium onto which ink has been discharged with ultraviolet rays. 6. An image forming apparatus comprising: a discharger containing an ink comprising a cross-linking agent reactive with an acidic group and a resin having the acidic group reactive with the cross-linking agent, the discharger configured to discharge the ink onto a recording medium having the acidic group reactive with the cross-linking agent on a surface thereof; and a recording medium container containing the recording medium. 7. The image forming apparatus according to claim 6 further comprising: a surface treatment device configured to conduct at least one of a corona discharge treatment and a plasma irradiation treatment on the recording medium before the ink lands on the recording medium. 8. The image forming apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the cross-linking agent comprises at least one of a compound having oxazoline group and a compound having carbodiimide group. 9. The image forming apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the ink further comprises a photoacid generator. 10. The image forming apparatus according to claim 9 , further comprising: an ultraviolet irradiator configured to irradiate the recording medium onto which ink has been discharged with ultraviolet rays. 11. Image-formed matter comprising: a recording medium; and an image layer on the recording medium, containing a cross-linking agent reactive with an acidic group and a resin having the acidic group reactive with the cross-linking agent, wherein the recording medium has the acidic group reactive with the cross-linking agent on a surface thereof.
