ABSTRACT:
An electrophotographic printer comprises a charger for uniformly charging a photoconductor, a unit for irradiating a light beam modulated based on image signals representing a continuous tone image onto the uniformly charged photoconductor, thereby to form an electrostatic latent image on the photoconductor, and a wet developing unit for developing the electrostatic latent image into a toner image by use of a liquid toner. An adhesive transfer unit is provided for heating a transfer sheet provided with a thermally-sensitive adhesive layer, which softens at a softening temperature lower than the melting temperature of the toner contained in the liquid toner, at a temperature which is not lower than the softening temperature of the adhesives and is lower than the melting temperature of the toner, and pushing the transfer sheet against the photoconductor to transfer the toner image to the softened adhesive layer. A sheet adhesion unit is provided for heating the transfer sheet, to which the toner image has been transferred, to a temperature equal to or above the melting temperature of the toner, and adhering a different sheet material to the adhesive layer of the transfer sheet.
