摘要:
Liquid developing method and liquid developing device for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on a latent image carrying member via a toner dispersed in a carrier liquid. An electrostatic latent image is formed on an image carrying surface, a liquid developer layer having a bottom layer of toner particles as the main constituent and a top layer of liquid carrier as the main constituent is formed on a developer holding surface and the electrostatic image is contacted with the top layer without substantially contacting the bottom layer with the image carrying surface. A member for maintaining a clearance between an image carrying member and a developer holding member at a predetermined space in which the top layer contacts with the electrostatic latent image without contacting the bottom layer to the image carrying member is provided.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus having an image carrying member onto which an electrostatic latent image is formed, a developing device that accommodates a liquid developer including toner particles for forming a toner image on the image carrying member by developing the electrostatic latent image, and an intermediate transfer member onto which .is transferred the toner image formed on the surface the image carrying member. The image on the surface of the intermediate transfer member is further transferred onto a recording medium. The intermediate transfer member surface has a mean roughness of 0.5-10 times greater than the volume-average particle size of the toner particles.
