LIQUID DEVELOPING FULL-COLOR ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the toner images on an intermediate transfer body from being reverse transferred onto a photoreceptor in superposed transfer and from deteriorating the images. SOLUTION: This liquid developing full-color electrophotographic device uses liquid toners of plural colors respectively as liquid developers and supplies these liquid developers in contact with the surface of the photoreceptor formed with the electrostatic latent images to adhere the toner particles of the liquid developers to the photoreceptor according to the electric fields formed with the photoreceptor, thereby developing the toner images by each of the colors. The toner images are transferred and superposed by each of the plural colors onto the intermediate transfer body. At this time, the device is provided with a means for increasing the degree of toner flocculation of the toner images transferred onto the intermediate transfer body in order to suppress the reverse transfer of the toner images previously transferred onto the intermediate transfer body onto the photoreceptor.
