A novel drying device for a wet type image forming apparatus including a nip roller; a heating roller incorporating a heater therein; a drying belt wound between the nip roller and the heating roller for circulation, being heated by said heating roller and being urged to contact with a surface of a photoconductor after forming a toner image for absorbing a developing solvent other than toner from the surface of the photoconductor; and a cleaning roller incorporating a heater and rotating with contacting with the drying belt. A drying unit including the nip roller, heating roller, and drying belt is moved so that the drying belt is displaced between a contacting position where it contacts with the surface of the photoconductor when in a printing state and a retracted position placed way from the conductor otherwise.
