ABSTRACT:
A recording apparatus is disclosed comprising a recording head adapted to hold fusible ink, a transfer member facing the recording head without contacting it, heating means for heating the transfer member to a predetermined temperature, pressure applying means facing the transfer member in such a way that a recording medium can pass therebetween and cooperating with the transfer member for applying pressure to the recording medium, and voltage applying means for applying a voltage between the recording head and the transfer member, the recording head supplying the fusible ink in a molten state to the transfer member, the predetermined temperature being higher than the softening point of the ink and lower than the melting point of the ink, and the transfer member comprising materials having a surface energy approximately equal to the value of the critical surface tension of the ink and smaller than the surface energy of the recording medium.
