<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid developer recycle apparatus, detecting the concentration with high accuracy. <P>SOLUTION: The liquid developer recycle apparatus includes a control device 350 for performing: a concentration detecting operation (Fig.4(b)) for detecting the concentration of a liquid developer DL in a concentration adjusting container 310 with a concentration sensor (a stirring blade 311 and so on); a concentration adjusting operation (Fig.4(c)) for adjusting the liquid developer DL in the concentration adjusting container 310 to a predetermined concentration based on the detected concentration; and a supply operation (Fig.4(d)) for feeding the adjusted liquid developer DL to a storing part (a temporarily storing tank 340). The liquid developer recycle apparatus is configured such that upon completion of the supply operation, a liquid developer DL remains in the concentration adjusting container 310. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
