Even when plain paper is used as a recording medium, feathering, bleeding and curling are suppressed, uniform coating is easy, and a high-quality image is obtained using a processing solution that is relatively easy to store. An image forming apparatus and an image forming method of an ink jet system capable of performing the above. A head 61Y, 61M, 61C, 61BK, 61T that discharges an aqueous recording liquid onto a recording medium 37, water containing a water-soluble polymer, and a low-polarity solvent incompatible with the water are added. An image using an applying means 73 for applying a treatment liquid emulsified as a W / O emulsion in which the water becomes a dispersed phase and the low-polarity solvent becomes a continuous phase by one surfactant. Forming apparatus 100 and image forming method; [Selection] Figure 1 |
