A liquid-type developing device for use in an image forming apparatus such as a copying machine or printer, that develops an electrostatic latent image formed on a latent image holding member using a liquid-type developer. In the liquid-type developing device, a developer carrying member supplies the liquid-type developer to the surface of the electrostatic latent image carrier at a developing region, and a removing member removes residual liquid-type developer remained on the surface of the developer carrying member after development.Before removing the residual liquid-type developer remained by the removing member, a fluid supplying member supplies a fluid on the surface of the developer carrying member so that the removing member removes said residual liquid-type developer with said fluid.
