Abstract
In a liquid electrophotographic method, in which while a photoconductive drum is rotating a plurality of toners are deposited thereon to thereby transfer an image simultaneously onto a transfer material, at a first rotation of the drum, each color toner image is formed onto the drum and the drum is dried during a second rotation thereof. Consequently, the image information can be transferred utilizing the time taken to dry the drum. In addition, in the same apparatus, an electric charging unit, an exposure unit, a developing unit, a drying unit, a transfer unit and the like are disposed along the outer circumference of the drum. Consequently, the entire apparatus can be compactly arranged.
