An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording medium by
ejecting a recording liquid to the recording medium at a recording part
is disclosed. The image forming apparatus includes a conveyor belt for
conveying the recording medium to the recording part, the conveyor belt
satisfying a relation of .gamma.>.gamma.c, wherein .gamma. (mN/m) is a
static surface tension of the recording liquid at 25.degree. C., and
.gamma.c (mN/m) is a critical surface tension of the conveyor belt,
wherein the recording liquid contains a color material in a disperse
state.
