Abstract:
An electrophotographic printer and a printing method are provided that may achieve an improved image quality, while reducing the risk of a print target medium being deformed. The electrophotographic printer includes a first color printing means. The first color printing means includes a toner developing unit, a toner image transfer unit, and an ultraviolet irradiating-drying unit. The toner developing unit adsorbs a liquid toner containing an ultraviolet absorbent for absorption of ultraviolet light to a latent charge image so as to develop a toner image. The toner image transfer unit transfers the toner image onto a print target medium. The ultraviolet irradiating-drying unit dries the transferred toner image on the print target medium by ultraviolet irradiation to obtain a dried toner image.

Claim (Index 1):
An electrophotographic printer, comprising:\n a toner developing unit that adsorbs a liquid toner including an ultraviolet absorbent for absorption of ultraviolet light to a latent charge image so as to develop a toner image; a toner image transfer unit that transfers the toner image obtained by the toner developing unit onto a print target medium; and an ultraviolet irradiating-drying unit that irradiates the toner image with ultraviolet light so as to dry the toner image transferred on the print target medium.
