Abstract:
There is provided an ink jet printing method including: an image forming process of applying ink onto an image forming surface of a transfer body to form a first intermediate image; an auxiliary liquid applying process of applying an auxiliary liquid containing a thermoplastic resin onto the first intermediate image on the transfer body to form a second intermediate image; and a transferring process of contacting the second intermediate image on the transfer body with a printing medium and separating the second intermediate image from the transfer body while maintaining a contact state with the printing medium to transfer the second intermediate image to the printing medium, wherein in the auxiliary liquid applying process, an area difference between an area of a first intermediate image and an area of an auxiliary liquid application area in the image forming surface is adjusted.

Claim (Index 3):
An ink jet printing method comprising:\n an image forming process of applying ink onto an image forming surface of a transfer body to form a first intermediate image; an auxiliary liquid applying process of applying an auxiliary liquid containing a thermoplastic resin onto the first intermediate image on the transfer body to form a second intermediate image; and a transferring process of contacting the second intermediate image on the transfer body with a printing medium and separating the second intermediate image from the transfer body while maintaining a contact state with the printing medium to transfer the second intermediate image to the printing medium, wherein in the image forming surface, a region including a first intermediate image on the image forming surface and being wider than the first intermediate image is set as an auxiliary liquid application region, and in the auxiliary liquid applying process, the auxiliary liquid is applied onto the auxiliary liquid application region, and the auxiliary liquid applying process includes an auxiliary liquid amount controlling process of performing a control of an auxiliary liquid application amount so that an area difference between an area of the first intermediate image and an area of the auxiliary liquid application region in the image forming surface is different depending on the kind of printing medium.
