Abstract
A wet developing apparatus of the type which is provided with a rotary member for developing an electrostatic latent image carried on a latent image carrier wherein said member supplies a liquid developer to the carrier and recovers residual liquid developer from the carrier by use of an elastic deformation of the rotary member, which wet developing apparatus is characterized in that the relative position between said rotary member and the latent image carrier is determined so that the width of said rotary member, measured along the axial direction in which said rotary member comes in pressure contact with said latent image carrier, is within the range of from the maximum width of the area in which an electrostatic latent image can be carried by said carrier to the total width of said carrier.
