A liquid removing device for removing carrier liquid from an image carrying member on which a toner image containing toner particles is formed. The liquid removing device is useful for image reproducing apparatus such as a color image copier. The liquid removing device comprises a base member, an elastic perforated material formed on the base member and having a continuous porosity sufficient to absorb excess liquid therein and an outermost layer formed on the elastic perforated material which has low surface energy sufficient to prevent an offset phenomenon of the toner image and small apertures defined thereby allowing passage the carrier liquid but the toner image therethrough.
