An image forming apparatus that prevents image disturbance due to overlapping dots and that does not require recording time. An organic pigment solvent dissolved in an aqueous solvent is passed through a flow path as a laminar flow, and droplets containing organic pigment fine particles generated in a process of changing the hydrogen ion index of the solution in the laminar flow process are hit. The first dots 102 and the second dots 112 are formed so as to overlap each other. First, an ink droplet 100 having a diameter D1a forming the first dot 102 is ejected, and when a predetermined time elapses, the ink droplet 100 penetrates into the recording paper and the diameter of the recording paper surface becomes D1b. In this state, when the ink droplets 110 that form the second dots 112 are ejected, the ink droplets 100 and the ink droplets 110 do not mix, and the ink that has penetrated into the recording paper does not enter the image receiving layer in the recording paper. Since it is held, ink mixing does not occur even in the recording paper. [Selection] Figure 9 |
