A liquid electrophotographic color image forming apparatus includes a main charger for charging a surface of a photoreceptor web to a predetermined charging electric potential, an optical scanning unit for scanning light onto the photoreceptor web to form an electrostatic latent image, and developing rollers for yellow, cyan, magenta and black colors, sequentially installed in a direction that the photoreceptor web circulates, for developing the electrostatic latent image using developer for each color. Further included are auxiliary chargers for cyan, magenta and black colors, installed downstream of each of the developing rollers, for additionally charging the photoreceptor web, the electric potential of which is lowered after development for each of yellow, cyan and magenta colors. In the above apparatus, when development gaps between each of the developing rollers and the photoreceptor web are respectively defined as GY, GC, GM and GK sequentially in a direction that the photoreceptor web proceeds, to restrict an increase of the intensity of an electric field at each development gap according to the additional charging, each of the developing rollers are installed to satisfy the condition that GY<=GC<=GM<=GK.
