Abstract
An electrostatic latent image formed on a light-sensitive body is developed by making a thermosetting powder coating material adhere under electrostatic force to the light-sensitive body. The powder coating material on the light-sensitive body is transferred from the transfer part of an intermediate transfer body which is softer than the light-sensitive body and the object to be coated, onto an object to be coated. The powder coating material is thermally set in such a way that it is able to bake onto the object to be coated.
