Abstract
To remove a surplus carrier liquid after development on the surface of a photoconductor drum to obtain homogeneous printed images without being affected by an error in rotational accuracy of such as a carrier liquid removing roller, there is provided a wet type electrophotographic printer in which the carrier liquid removing rollerof a carrier liquid removing unitis caused to come in rotational contact with the photoconductor drumto remove a carrier liquid from the liquid toner image, thereby making a toner image for transfer onto a recording medium, the wet type electrophotographic printer being so configured that the carrier liquid removing roller in rotational contact with the photoconductor drum is urged against the latter under an urging force made adjustable; and a scraping bladeis brought into contact with the carrier liquid removing roller while being urged against the latter under an urging force made adjustable.
