Abstract
A liquid droplet containing thermosetting or ultraviolet curing adhesive material is jetted out to either of a transfer member ( ) or an image receiving member ( ) so as to correspond to a shape of an image so that a latent image is formed. The transfer member ( ) and the image receiving member ( ) are brought into close contact with each other so that the latent image is interposed between the transfer member ( ) and the image receiving member ( ). Then, heat or ultraviolet rays are applied for curing the adhesive material so that a transfer material formed on the transfer member ( ) is fixed to the image receiving member ( ) through the cured adhesive material. Then, the transfer member ( ) and the image receiving member ( ) are separated from each other so that only the fixed transfer material is transferred to the image receiving member ( ). As a result, a required image is formed.
