Abstract

Apparatus for removing excess developer liquid from the surface of a photoconductor carrying a layer of developer liquid of a predetermined thickness in which a mechanical barrier extending across the photoconductive surface is positioned at a distance from the photoconductor surface which is less than said predetermined thickness, in which the surface and the mechanical barrier move relative to each other so that the mechanical barrier has a trailing portion with reference to the direction of relative movement, and in which a low-pressure air barrier is provided in the region of adjacency of the surface and the mechanical barrier to inhibit wetting of the trailing portion of the latter by the developer liquid.
