摘要 |
An image forming apparatus comprising a latent image carrier for supporting a latent image, a charging unit for charging the latent image carrier, a developing unit for developing the latent image supported by the latent image carrier which has a developing member for supporting a liquid developer containing a toner and a carrier liquid, and to which a developing bias is applied, a first optical density detector for detecting the toner optical density in the liquid developer supported by the latent image carrier developed by the developing member, a squeeze unit for squeezing the latent image carrier which has a squeeze member brought into contact with the latent image carrier for which toner optical density has been detected by the first optical density detector, and a second optical density detector for detecting the toner optical density of the liquid developer supported by the latent image carrier squeezed by the squeeze member.
