摘要:
A liquid development device has a developer retaining roller having recesses, which are for retaining liquid developer, provided in the surface of the developer retaining roller; and a supplying roller for supplying the liquid developer to the developer retaining roller. The upper edge of the supplying roller is located above the lower edge of the developer retaining roller in the vertical direction, and the supplying roller supplies the liquid developer to the developer retaining roller downwards from above.

An image development apparatus, including: a developer carrier that carries thereon a liquid developer being a carrier solution including dispersed toner particles each made of a coloring agent and a resin; a developer supply member that supplies the developer to the developer carrier; a developer compression member that is opposing the developer carrier, and compresses any solid content of the developer to a side of the developer carrier through application of an electric field to the developer on the developer carrier supplied by the developer supply member; a developer compression member voltage application unit that applies a voltage to the developer compression member; and a current detection unit that detects a current flowing from the developer compression member to the developer carrier.
摘要:
A transfer apparatus includes a transfer belt being configured to carry an image, a transfer roller having an elastic layer and being configured to transfer the image from the transfer belt onto a transfer material, and a backup roller being configured to have pressure against the transfer roller with the transfer belt therebetween in order to form a transfer nip portion. The transfer nip portion includes a pressure-contact nip and a contact nip. A length of the contact nip is smaller than half a length of the pressure-contact nip in the rotational direction of the transfer roller.

An image forming apparatus includes a developing section in which an image is developed by using liquid toner. The liquid toner has passed through the developing section is conveyed in a first path by gravity. A tank is adapted to store a carrier liquid, and is connected to a second path in which the carrier liquid stored in the tank is conveyed by gravity and which joins the first path.
