A print material removing apparatus for removing a print material from a printed record medium, the apparatus comprising: a treating bath,filled with a treating liquid,, the treating bath,removing the print material from the printed record medium,immersed into the treating liquid,; a feed path,for feeding the treating liquid,to the treating bath,; a discharge path,for discharging the treating liquid,from the treating bath,; a feed cartridge,to be detachably connected to the feed path,; and a discharge cartridge,to be detachably connected to the discharge path,. Thus, the apparatus enhances the handling-ability of the sheet,and eliminates the user's uncomfortable feeling at the jam treatment.

Print material removing apparatus

An apparatus according to the present invention removes printing material from a recording member on which an image is recorded by the printing material. The apparatus includes a releasing member and a separation member. The releasing member comes into pressure contact with the recording member and adheres to the printing material on the recording member. The separation member separates the recording member from the releasing member at a separation point and releases the printing material from the recording member by bending the releasing member and the recording member in mutually opposite directions so as to make the radius of curvature of the recording member smaller than the radius of curvature of the releasing member.

Apparatus for removing printing material from a recording member on

An apparatus for removing printing material from a recording member on which an image is recorded by the printing material is provided with a releasing member and a separating device. The releasing member has a plane surface with which the surface of the recording member recorded with the printing material comes into contact. The releasing member moves to a predetermined direction with the recording member held thereon. The separating device is disposed on the plane surface of the releasing member for separating the recording member from the releasing member. A separation line between the releasing member and the recording member is angled with respect to the front end of the recording member.

Apparatus for removing print from a recording medium

An apparatus according to the present invention removes printing material from a recording member on which an image is recorded by the printing material. The apparatus comprises a releasing member and heating member. The releasing member comes into pressure contact with the recording member, adheres to the printing material on the recording member, and then separates from the recording member to release the printing material from the recording member. The heating member heats at least any one of the contact surface of the recording member to the releasing member or the contact surface of the releasing member to the recording member.

Apparatus for removing printing material

The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus provided with an image carrying member comprising a conductive substrate, a dielectric layer and a lubricative layer as a surface layer, a developing device comprising an ink carrying member which supports an ink layer, and a transporting device transporting the ink images to a recording medium. The present invention further relates to an image forming method comprising steps of forming electrostatic latent images on a surface of an image carrying member which comprises a conductive substrate, a dielectric layer and a lubricative layer, forming ink images on the image carrying member by means of contacting an ink to the electrostatic latent images on the image carrying member, and transporting the ink images to a recording medium.

Image forming apparatus and image forming method for image formation

An image forming apparatus for forming a latent image by image exposure on an image bearing member which is charged by a charge brush of a charging device, and developing the latent image by a developing device, transferring the developed image on a sheet, and cleaning the residual toner on the image bearing member by the developing device. The rotational brush rotates in such a direction that a contacting portion of the brush with the image bearing member moves in the same direction as a moving direction of a surface of the image bearing member, and is provided to satisfy the following condition:

Image forming apparatus with rotating brush for charging

An image forming apparatus having a rotatable photosensitive member a charging device for charging a surface of the photosensitive member prior to forming an electrophotographic latent image and a power source for applying a charge voltage which includes at least AC component to the charging device. The charging device includes a rotatable brush member which is formed by implanting piles formed by brush fibers on a base member and provided in contact with the photosensitive member. The photosensitive member and charging device and power source are provided to satisfy the following condition:
