Abstract
An ink which can be imparted with an adhesiveness on application of an electric current is obtained by impregnating a crosslinked substance such as guar gum or polyvinyl alcohol compound with a liquid dispersion medium such as water. The ink is supplied with a pattern of energy to be provided with an adhesive pattern, which is then transferred to a recording medium, such as plain paper, directly or by the medium of an intermediate transfer medium to form an ink pattern corresponding to the energy pattern applied. The ink further comprises a buffer action-imparting substance and is excellent in storage stability and stability of performances during a continuous use.
