Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an ink image forming method and ink image forming device which eliminate inconvenience of use of toner by using a conductive liquid ink reducible in cost in place of toner and omitting a fixing mechanism, since the colored electrostatic charged particulates (toner) which are developing material in a conventional electrophotographic system, are high in cost and a large heat energy is required for melting and fixing the toner with a heat roller fixing system which is the principal fixing method. SOLUTION: The ink image forming method and ink image forming device forming images by forming electrostatic latent images 41 on an ink-impregnated roller which has a surface layer consisting of a porous material and houses a conductive liquid ink therein, polarizing the ink by these electrostatic latent images 41, moving the ink to the surface of the ink-impregnated roller 1 by the electrostatic attraction generated by the same and transferring the images onto a recording medium.
