Abstract: To provide an ink jet image forming method and an ink jet image forming device capable of forming an image of superior quality by using quickly drying ink and slowly drying ink in combination, wherein deviation which may occur in a discharge position of ink causes no reduction in the resolution of the image, black ink is adopted as the slowly drying ink, and so is white ink as one of the quickly drying ink. A white dot is formed with the white ink in a position to form a black dot on white recording paper, thereafter applying the black ink thereto. Deviation which may occur in the discharge position of the quickly drying white ink on the recording paper thus becomes almost visually unnoticeable.

Abstract: In a state that a wafer stage is not positioned in the center of the Y-direction traveling range, thrusts Fa, Fb supplied from a pair of linear motors to a Y-direction stage are made different and the Y-direction stage is moved in the X direction so that moments Ma, Mb about the centroid of the Y-direction stage by the thrusts Fa, Fb cancel each other. Since the moments Ma, Mb about the centroid generated by the thrusts cancel each other and the thrusts do not act as forces for rotating the Y-direction stage, the Y-direction stage is not deflected in a yawing direction. Such a stage device as constructed above can prevent deflection in a yawing direction due to displacement of the centroid position of an object to be positioned or a stage and precisely move the object to be positioned to a target position.

Abstract: A caulked portion is formed by plastic deformation of a cylindrical portion which is formed at the inner end of a shaft member and is reduced in thickness toward the leading end in a diametrical outward direction. The force required to form the caulked portion is reduced, and the caulked portion is less susceptible to damage. Further, the force of the caulked portion for supporting the inner ring is ensured.

Abstract: A heat-resistant sheet is provided between a fusing roller and a pressing member made of a resilient material. The heat-resistant sheet is composed of a glass fiber substrate coated with or impregnating a fluororesin having good mold lubrication and heat-resistance, such as PFA and PTFE. A paper having a pre-fused toner image is carried through a section between the fusing roller and heat-resistant sheet. Accordingly, wear or separation of the heat-resistant sheet caused by friction with the fusing roller can be prevented, thereby improving durability of the heat-resistant sheet.
