PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus using liquid developer and achieving efficient cleaning for a developing roller or the like having an elastic surface. SOLUTION: An elastic roller 71 such as the developing roller, in the image forming apparatus, functions to develop a latent image formed on an image carrier. In an image forming process, toner evenly dispersed on carrier is flocculated on the surface side of the elastic roller 71 by compaction. The image forming apparatus is provided with a cleaning blade 72 in order to remove the flocculated toner. The surface of the elastic roller 71 is formed of an elastic surface layer, and rubber having hardness of JIS A 30 to 50 is used for the elastic surface layer. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
