PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remove a carrier liquid on an image before transfer on a photoreceptor, without disturbing the image in a wet electrophotographic apparatus carrying out the pressure transferring of a toner image formed on the photoreceptor to an intermediate transfer body, by using a liquid toner prepared by dispersing toner in the carrier liquid. SOLUTION: In the wet electrophotographic apparatus, in order to remove the carrier liquid from the toner image before transfer on a photoreceptor drum 1, a first slit nozzle 100-2 blowing air current of a first speed to the photoreceptor drum surface, after the image is formed; and a second slit nozzle 100-1 blowing air current of a second speed which is faster than the speed of the air current provided by the first slit nozzle and a space opening part 10-3 guiding the adverse air, occurring on the first slit nozzle side due to the second slit nozzle, are provided.
