Abstract
A liquid image forming apparatus. A developing unit of the liquid image forming apparatus includes a developing container in which a developer is received, a developing roller having a portion which is dipped in the developer of the developing container, which is installed to be opposite to a photosensitive body, a cleaning roller which cleans the developer remaining on the surface of the developing roller after an electrostatic latent image is developed, and a squeeze roller which squeezes the cleaning roller before the developing roller is cleaned, and passes the air passing through the cleaning roller to the outside. The air passing through the cleaning roller does not pass into the developer and thus bubbles are not generated in the developer, thereby solving a problem of non-uniform developer attachment.
