Abstract
An image formation method for forming an image includes the steps of electrostatically transferring a latent electrostatic image formed on a latent-electrostatic-image bearing member to an intermediate transfer medium composed of at least a support, and an electroconductive layer and a dielectric layer which are successively overlaid on the support, developing the latent electrostatic image which has been electrostatically transferred onto the intermediate transfer medium into a visible image by a wet-type development method, and non-electrostatically transferring the visible image on the intermediate transfer medium to a final recording medium with the application of heat and pressure thereto. An image formation apparatus for carrying out the above method is disclosed.
