Abstract:
An image forming method uses an apparatus for forming an image on both recording media of fabric and recording paper. The image forming method includes: applying a treatment agent to the fabric, the treatment agent coagulating a water-based ink or increasing viscosity of the water-based ink; and discharging the water-based ink onto the fabric by an ink-jet system, the water-based ink being identical to a water-based ink used for forming the image on the recording paper.

Claim (Index 18):
An image forming method for forming an image on a recording medium, comprising:\n preparing the recording medium which is fabric or recording paper; and determining whether a first recording mode or a second recording mode is executed; in the first recording mode, discharging a first discharge amount (I F ) of a water-based ink per unit area onto the fabric by an ink-jet system; and in the second recording mode, discharging a second discharge amount (I P ) of the water-based ink per unit area onto the recording paper by the ink-jet system, the water-based ink being identical to the water-based ink in the first recording mode, wherein the preparation of the recording medium includes:\n selecting the fabric or the recording paper; \n when the fabric is selected, applying a first application amount (T F ) of a treatment agent per unit area to the fabric, the treatment agent coagulating the water-based ink or increasing viscosity of the water-based ink; \n when the recording paper is selected, selecting whether or not the treatment agent is applied to the recording paper; and \n when the application of the treatment agent to the recording paper is selected, applying a second application amount (T P ) of the treatment agent per unit area to the recording paper, the second application amount (T P ) being smaller than the first application amount (T F ).
