To provide an image formation apparatus capable of efficiently correcting a sheet deformation and excellent in image fixation properties.SOLUTION: An image formation apparatus includes: a liquid composition; application means that applies the liquid composition to a sheet P; and a sheet P straightening device 601 that corrects a deformation of the sheet P. The liquid composition contains a copolymer having a specific structural unit. The sheet P straightening device 601 includes: a belt pair 602 that conveys the sheet P by holding therebetween; a pressing member 603A that bends and deforms part of the belt pair 602 within an area where the belt pair 602 is holding the sheet P therebetween; and heating means 604 that heats the sheet P.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】効率的にシ−トの変形を矯正し、画像定着性に優れた画像形成装置を提供する。【解決手段】液体組成物と、液体組成物をシ−トＰに付与する付与手段と、シ−トＰの変形を矯正するシ−トＰ矯正装置６０１と、を有し、液体組成物は、特定の構造単位を有する共重合体を含有し、シ−トＰ矯正装置６０１は、シ−トＰを挟んで搬送するベルト対６０２と、ベルト対６０２がシ−トＰを挟み持つ領域内でベルト対６０２の一部を湾曲変形させる押し当て部材６０３Ａと、シ−トＰを加熱する加熱手段６０４と、を備えている。【選択図】図２
