A developing apparatus having a liquid developer supply unit for supplying a liquid developer to an electrostatic latent image on a belt type photosensitive body and a liquid component removing unit arranged at the downstream of the liquid developer supply unit so as to remove a liquid component from the liquid developer attached to the belt type photosensitive body. The liquid component removing unit includes a squeeze roller for removing a liquid component from the liquid developer attached to the belt type photosensitive body; and a second backup roller (liquid component removing auxiliary roller) which is in abutment with the squeeze roller via the belt type photosensitive body. The second backup roller has a diameter greater than that of the squeeze roller and a length almost identical to that of the squeeze roller.
