Abstract:
A wet image forming unit for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on a surface of a photosensitive body which rotates in a predetermined direction by a liquid developing solution containing toner particles upon an image forming operation, comprising:a developing roller which develops said photosensitive body surface by said liquid developing solution;a squeeze roller for squeezing a surplus developing solution on said photosensitive body and cleaning, and being arranged on a lower stream side of said developing roller and rotates in a direction similar to a rotating direction of the photosensitive body during image forming operation and rotates in a direction opposite to the photosensitive body while contacting with the photosensitive body just before stop of the image forming operation; andvoltage applying circuit which applies a voltage whose polarity is opposite to a charging polarity of said toner particles to said squeeze roller just before said stop of the image forming operation.
