A reprographic machine in which an image in the form of a pattern of pigment particles dispersed in a liquid carrier is transferred to a sheet (36) of support material. In the operative mode, when the sheet of support material having the image thereon is present, a fuser (44) applies heat thereto to remove liquid carrier therefrom, so as to dry the sheet of support material, and to fuse the pigment particles thereto in image configuration. In the standby mode, when the sheet of support material is not present, the fuser still generates heat. The vaporised carrier removed from the sheet of support material by the fuser is collected in a condenser (60). Air flowing from the condenser passes through a filter (66) to remove residual carrier therefrom. In the standby mode, heated air from the fuser is directed to the filter to regenerate the filter. |
