WET-TYPE IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

A supply member of this wet type image forming apparatus has a surface rotating in a direction the same as a surface of a developer carrier at the same peripheral velocity at a portion abutting to the developer carrier. A control unit causes toner particles on the supply member to move to the developer carrier by providing a potential difference between the developer carrier and the supply member and controls an amount of toner particles on a latent image carrier by controlling electric power of a first charging member.

主权项

1. A wet type image forming apparatus for printing on a transfer target by using a wet type developer containing toner particles, comprising:
a developer carrier supplying said wet type developer to a latent image carrier having an electrostatic latent image formed; a supply member supplying said wet type developer to said developer carrier; a first charging member charging said toner particles in a wet type developer layer formed by said wet type developer on said supply member; and a control unit controlling a potential difference between said developer carrier and said supply member and output of said first charging member, said supply member having a surface rotating in a direction similar to a surface of said developer carrier at a similar peripheral velocity at a portion abutting to said developer carrier, and said control unit causing said toner particles on said supply member to move to said developer carrier by providing a potential difference between said developer carrier and said supply member and controlling an amount of said toner particles on said latent image carrier by controlling output of said first charging member.
