Abstract:
A fixation device configured to fix on a medium a resin fine particle that contains a resin, by providing a fixation fluid on the resin fine particle on the medium which fixation fluid contains a softening agent that softens the resin fine particle by dissolving or swelling at least one portion of the resin, water and a foaming agent that comprises a salt of aliphatic acid, wherein the fixation device comprises a foam-like fixation fluid producing part configured to produce a foam-like fixation fluid, a layer thickness controlling part configured to control a layer thickness of the produced foam-like fixation fluid, and a provision part configured to provide the layer-thickness-controlled foam-like fixation fluid on the resin fine particle on the medium.
