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 13):
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 the auxiliary liquid contains wax particles, the ink jet printing method further comprises a heating process of heating the transfer body at a temperature equal to or more than a melting point of the wax particles, and an auxiliary liquid application amount when the printing medium is not coated paper is smaller than an auxiliary liquid application amount per area of the image forming surface when the printing medium is coated paper.
