Abstract
In a process of an ink receiving medium entering a nip part with a liquid absorbing member, force in a direction to sweep up an image to be processed as an absorption removal treatment target is reduced by changing a nip pressure of the nip part in a conveying direction of the ink receiving medium. Furthermore, when peeling off the liquid absorbing member from the ink receiving medium from the nip part, force for pulling a liquid component toward a porous body is effectively applied. As a result, it is possible to achieve high absorption and removal of the liquid component from the image to be processed while suppressing disturbance of the image to be processed.
