Abstract:
1. A wet electrophotographic printer, comprising: a photosensitive body to form a latent image; a developer transfer body rotating to face the photosensitive body to transfer a liquid developer to the photosensitive body to form a visible image according to the latent image; a developing restricting member disposed with respect to the developer transfer body to restrict at least one of an amount and a density of toner particles of the liquid developer supplied to the developer transfer body, and supply the at least one of the amount and the density of the toner particles into a nip between the developer transfer body and the photosensitive body; a housing divided into a developing chamber and a developer storing chamber by a partition and containing the developer transfer body and the developing restricting member; and a developer supply unit disposed below the partition in the housing to supply the liquid developer from the developer storing chamber into the developing chamber; wherein the developer transfer body and the developing restricting member are disposed to form a border between an upper portion of the developing chamber and an upper portion of the developer storing chamber together with an upper portion of the partition, wherein the developing restricting member is substantially in contact with the partition.
