Abstract
A printing machine including a drum adapted to have a latent image recorded on the surface thereof. The drum is positioned with the longitudinal axis thereof extending in a direction substantially transverse to the horizontal. The latent image is developed with a liquid developer to form a liquid image on the surface of the drum. The liquid image is transferred to a copy sheet. Residual liquid developer removed from the surface of the drum by the cleaning unit, flows in a downwardly direction under the influence of gravity to a liquid collector housing located at the bottom of the cleaning unit.
