摘要: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus, a varnish application apparatus, and a controller. When the image forming apparatus is in a standby state and preheating of varnish in a tank by a heater is completed, if an image forming job of forming a toner image on a first recording material and applying varnish thereto by a varnish coater is received, the controller controls a guide member to guide the first recording material to a first conveyance path. When the image forming apparatus is in a standby state and preheating of varnish in the tank by the heater is not completed, if an image forming job of forming a toner image on a second recording material and not applying varnish thereto by the varnish coater is received, the controller controls the guide member to guide the second recording material to a second conveyance path.

摘要: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus, a pressure sealing processing apparatus, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to permit execution of the pressure sealing processing process by the pressure sealing processing apparatus on a recording material of which a grammage is smaller than a predetermined grammage, and is configured not to permit execution of the pressure sealing processing process by the pressure sealing processing apparatus on a recording material of which a grammage is equal to or more than the predetermined grammage.

摘要: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus, a varnish application apparatus, and a controller. The varnish application apparatus includes a varnish application unit configured to apply varnish to a recording material, a first conveyance unit configured to convey a recording material in a first conveyance path that passes through the varnish application unit, and a second conveyance unit configured to convey a recording material in a second conveyance path that does not pass through the varnish application unit. When failure is occurred to one or both of the varnish application unit and the first conveyance unit and failure is not occurred to the second conveyance unit, the controller is configured to permit execution of the second image forming job and to convey a recording material by the second conveyance unit in the varnish application apparatus.

摘要: An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member; a transfer member configured to form a transfer portion where the toner image is transferred from the image bearing member by being supplied with a transfer bias; a carrier liquid supplying portion configured to supply the carrier liquid to the transfer portion; a transfer bias voltage source capable of applying the transfer bias to the transfer portion; a detecting portion configured to detect at least one of a voltage and a current at the transfer portion; and a setting portion configured to set the transfer bias during non-image-formation on the basis of a detection result of the detecting portion when a setting bias is applied from the transfer member in a state in which the carrier liquid is in the transfer portion.

摘要: An image forming apparatus can adjust a liquid amount of a carrier liquid layer formed on an intermediary transfer belt depending on an image forming mode.In a case of a full-color mode, a controller sets an operation mode of a liquid amount adjusting device at a “removal mode” . In a case of a monochromatic mode, the controller sets the operation mode at a “supply mode”. In the removal mode, a carrier liquid in the carrier liquid tank is not carried on a feeding roller, so that the carrier liquid is removed from the belt by the feeding roller. In the supply mode, the carrier liquid drawn up from the carrier liquid tank by a supplying roller is supplied to the belt via the feeding roller

摘要: An image forming apparatus is configured to control a generation circuit to modulate a DC component of a developing voltage based on a first correction component such that a density unevenness is reduced. The image forming apparatus is further configured to restrict the first correction component for modulating the DC component of the developing voltage such that fogging of toner that may occur on a non-exposure region which is not exposed by an exposure unit and adhesion to a photosensitive member of carrier included in a developer are reduced.
