In an embodiment, the front surface of paper passed to an image recording drum is pressed by a pressure roller, and is made to contact the peripheral surface of the image recording drum. The front surface of paper is sucked by a suction unit in a position immediately before it enters between the image recording drum and the pressure roller, and back tension is given. The back tension giving is turned on/off according to the thickness of the paper, and the back tension giving is turned off for paper whose thickness is equal to or greater than a threshold. It is possible to prevent paper with stiffness from strongly contacting an adsorption holding surface of the suction unit and the front surface from being damaged.

Abstract: In a matting agent coating device, a matting agent within a supplying section is supplied to a metering section. A supplied amount of matting agent at a surface of a metering roller is metered by a metering blade, and an excess amount is filtered at a slit portion. Matting agent is supplied to an application roller that is provided directly beneath. For example, a closed-cell sponge rubber is used as a material of the metering roller, and a size of closed cells is around 5 to 100 times an average particle diameter of the matting agent. The matting agent that has been supplied to a surface of the application roller is transferred and applied onto a recording medium. The matting agent is transferred from the application roller onto image portions of the recording medium due to tackiness of an ink film forming an image.
