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 3):
The electrophotographic printer according to  claim 2 , further comprising a fixing device that heats the print target medium on which the composite dried toner image is formed so as to fix the composite dried toner image onto the print target medium.
