摘要： A developing unit of a liquid electrophotographic printer includes a developing roller, for forming a development gap with a photoreceptor web where developer is filled and developing an electrostatic latent image formed on the photoreceptor web, a squeegee roller installed at the rear end of the developing roller for closely pressing the photoreceptor web to squeegee surplus developer, and a cleaning mechanism for removing toner particles of the developer adhering to a surface of the squeegee roller using an electrical force. Since the toner particles adhering to the squeegee roller are removed, contamination of a developed image is prevented and a clean image can be printed.

摘要： A photoreceptor web for a liquid electrophotographic printer on which a predetermined image is developed at a development unit and the developed image is transferred to a transfer unit to be printed on a sheet of paper, in which a total length of the photoreceptor web is 32±0.25 inches. The total length of the photoreceptor web is set to include a plurality of image zones in which an image to be printed on a sheet of paper is developed, an interval zone provided between the image zones as allowance zone, a drip line removing zone provided to avoid frictional contact with a squeegee roller of the development unit when the drip line is removed, a seam portion formed by combining both end portions of the photoreceptor web for forming a closed path, and a mark zone where a mark for detecting the seam portion is provided. Thus, the photoreceptor web does not occupy excess installation space in the printer and development, transfer and drip line removing operations are performed smoothly.

摘要： A squeegee roller for a liquid electrophotographic printer includes a steel core and an elastic rubber layer coated on an outer circumferential surface of the steel core. The elastic rubber layer forms a squeegee nip by contacting a photoreceptor web, thereby to make a toner of the excess developer, which is developed in an area for an electrostatic latent image of the photoreceptor web, into a thin film in the area for electrostatic latent image and to squeeze the remaining carrier. The roughness (Ra) of a surface of the elastic rubber layer satisfies the condition, 1.5 &mgr;m≦Ra≦2.5 &mgr;m. Further ,a criss-cross grove pattern is formed on the surface of the squeegee roller so as to guide the excess developer liquid

摘要： In a squeeze roller assembly of a wet type developer of an electrophotographic printer, a shaft is rotatably installed in a frame. A first roller is fixed on the shaft for filming solid toner from a developing liquid onto a photosensitive belt. Second rollers are rotatably installed on the same shaft at both sides of the first roller. The first roller, attached to the central portion of the imaging surface of a photosensitive belt, rotates in the same direction as that of the conveying direction of the photosensitive belt. The second roller rotates in a direction opposite to the direction of the photosensitive belt by an inverse rotator. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the required installation space by having the first and second rollers share a common shaft as a rotating axis.
