Patent ID: 8798512

Claim:
A method for producing a printed material comprising: electrostatically holding at least one type of charged dry toner containing a dye component and a binder resin to a charged body; transferring the dry toner from the charged body to a base material fixed to a conveying belt; and fixing the dry toner to the base material, wherein in the transferring step, the charged dry toner on the charged body is flown from the charged body to the base material by applying a high voltage to an electrode arranged through the conveying belt and the base material in a state in which a gap is provided between the dry toner on the charged body and the base material to generate an electric field at the gap, wherein the high voltage is not less than 85% of y, and not more than 160% of y, and wherein x [mm] is a distance between the charged body and the electrode, and y=1.45x+1.68 [kV].
