<p>This invention relates to a multi-color image formation apparatus having a plurality of toner image formation devices (2a to 2d) corresponding to respective colors. Each toner image formation device includes a photosensitive body (10), a charger (30) for electrically charging the photosensitive body (10), an exposure device (40) for exposing the charged photosensitive body (10) to light and a developing device for supplying a color liquid developer having a high concentration and a high viscosity to a latent image surface of the photosensitive body (10). There is further provided a transfer device (60) for sequentially transferring the toner image formed on the latent image surface of the photosensitive body (10) of each toner image formation device to paper sequentially conveyed by a transfer belt (602) and for forming the color image on paper. An electrostatic latent image is formed in such a fashion that the toner image corresponding to a desired print image can remain on a developer support, and the liquid developer (508) of a high concentration and a high viscosity applied to the development belt (510) at the position corresponding to the electrostatic latent image is removed so as to transfer the normal toner image remaining on the development belt (510) to paper.</p> |
