Abstract
An image is exposed to light after a conductive and photoconductive material has been charged so that the charge of the portion exposed to light is neutralized and a latent image is thereby formed. Toner particles in a liquid developer are adsorbed onto the non-exposed portion so that development is performed. Then, the toner particles are dried by a drying device and thus aggregated toner particles are transferred to a transferring material due to an electrostatic force. Since the toner image is temporarily dried and is transferred in the aggregated form corresponding to the shape of the image, image disorder due to liquid fluidization that takes place at the time of liquid transference can be prevented. Therefore, a high quality transferred image is obtained.
