PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus with which a higher speed and higher sharpness are made possible by solving the problems, such as the occurrence of the transmutation of toner particles already used for visualization of an image by development together with a carrier liquid by accompanying blasting and the consequent occurrence of disturbance in the toner image, a ghost, color seepage, etc., the infeasibility of processing at and with the high speed and high sharpness if a spray drying system is employed as a drier in the image forming apparatus using a liquid developer composed of the toner particles, the carrier liquid, etc, and to provide an image forming method. SOLUTION: An electrostatic charger 19 is arranged between a developing unit 15 and the dryer 20 and the toner image is charged with an electric charge. The toner image is thereby firmly secured onto a latent image holder 11. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
