ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a toner image forming section, an intermediate transferring section, a transferring section, a fixing solution applying section, a transporting section, a fixing section, and a recording medium feeding section. In the image forming apparatus, the fixing solution applying section includes a droplet supplying section, a recording medium detecting section, and a control unit, wherein the recording medium is heated before or at the same time when the fixing solution is applied to the recording medium by the fixing solution applying section, and a size of droplets of the fixing solution supplied to the recording medium is controlled based on the type of the recording medium.
