A vapor capture subsystem, which improves capturing efficiency of a carrier solvent, is provided. The vapor capture subsystem provides a ring shaped drying belt which absorbs the carrier solvent in a developing material that is developed on the surface of an organic photoconductor belt by a developer, a regeneration roller which makes the carrier solvent absorbed at the ring shaped drying belt vapor, a condenser which captures the carrier solvent vaporized at the regeneration roller and makes the vaporized carrier solvent liquid by cooling, tubes which lead the carrier solvent vaporized at the regeneration roller to the condenser, an air pump which leads the carrier solvent vaporized at the regeneration roller to the condenser, and a manifold which covers one end side of the ring shaped drying belt and the regeneration roller in order that the vapor generated at the regeneration roller does not leak to the outside. The capturing efficiency at the manifold can be increased by making the drying temperature at the regeneration roller 85° C. or more, and making the sucking air quantity of the air pump 22 to 45 liters/minute.
