Abstract
A reproducing machine in which a latent image recorded on a member is developed with a liquid developer material including at least a liquid carrier having pigmented particles dispersed therein. The developed image is transferred from the member to a portion of a moving web of sheet material. The pigmented particles are fused to the web of sheet material in image configuration. A flow of heated air is directed over an extended region of the web of sheet material in a direction parallel to the direction of the movement of the web and in a direction opposed to the direction of movement of the web to vaporize liquid carrier therefrom so as dry the web of sheet material.
