Abstract
A developing apparatus for a liquid type printer includes a developing tank in which ink with a high density supplied from an ink supplying unit is received up to a predetermined level. The developing apparatus also includes a developing roller which is positioned to rotate in the developing tank and keep a predetermined developing gap from a photosensitive medium, and to supply the ink to the photosensitive medium. The developing apparatus includes a metering unit which is rotated in the ink in the developing tank to control an amount of the ink conveyed to the developing roller and moved to the developing gap, and a cleaning roller which cleans the ink remaining after the ink is conveyed from the developing roller to the photosensitive medium.
