Abstract
An apparatus in which a plurality of liquid images are transferred from a photoconductive member to a copy sheet. The liquid images, which include a liquid carrier having toner particles dispersed therein, are attached from the photoconductive member to an intermediate belt by a biased transfer roll. At the same time, the biased transfer roll squeegees the liquid carrier from the intermediate belt and the toner particles are compacted thereon in image configuration. Thereafter, the toner particles are transferred from the intermediate belt to the copy sheet in image configuration with the use of another biased transfer roll. A vacuum source and an infrared heater is employed to remove residual solvent from the intermediate member left after photoconductor to intermediate member transfer takes place.
