    摘要: In certain examples, a liquid electrophotographic printer has a compressive element. The compressive element removes a portion of carrier liquid from an inked image on an imaging element. The compressive element is selectively engageable and a controller disengages the compressive element for a first layer of liquid toner so as to retain carrier liquid in the first layer, and engages the compressive element for a subsequent layer of liquid toner so as to remove a portion of carrier liquid from the subsequent layer.

    摘要: A transmission for a developer unit that includes a developer roller to apply LEP ink to a photoconductor, a cleaner roller to clean the developer roller, and a squeegee roller to squeegee ink on the developer roller. In one example, the transmission includes a mechanical drive train to, with the cleaner roller, simultaneously drive the developer roller at a first surface speed and the squeegee roller at a second surface speed slower than the first surface speed.

    摘要: An oil removing device includes a first heating member that at an outer surface thereof contacts a non-image surface of a recording medium which is transported, and that heats the recording medium, a toner image that is formed by using liquid developer that contains volatile oil and toner being transferred to the recording medium; and a second heating member that is disposed on a downstream side of the first heating member in a transport direction, the second heating member contacting at an outer surface thereof the non-image surface of the recording medium and heating the recording medium. In the oil removing device, a non-contact region where the non-image surface of the recording medium does not contact the first heating member and the second heating member is provided between the first heating member and the second heating member.

    摘要: Provided is an image forming apparatus including a storage portion that stores liquid developer where toner is dispersed in a carrier liquid, an image forming portion that forms an image on a recording medium with the liquid developer supplied from the storage portion, a recovery path that recovers the liquid developer from the image forming portion and returns the liquid developer to the storage portion, a dispersing mechanism that is provided in the recovery path and disperses recovered liquid developer by causing the recovered liquid developer to pass through a net member, and a replenishing unit that replenishes the liquid developer or the carrier liquid on the net member at least while the image forming portion does not form an image.

    摘要: The printing method includes the steps of (1) Transferring after charging a charged liquid developer dispersion from a surface of the first member optionally via the at least one further member to a substrate, wherein excess liquid developer dispersion remains present on the first member after the transfer; (2) Treating the excess liquid developer dispersion so as to facilitate its removal from the first member (3) removing, at least substantially, the treated excess liquid developer dispersion from the surface of the first member using a removal device, and (4) upon interrupting or terminating the printing, removing material adhered to the removal device.
