Abstract:
An electrophotographic system comprising a photoreceptor for forming a latent image thereon, a developing device for developing the latent image on said photoreceptor to obtain a toner image formed by liquid toner including solvent, a first roller rotatably disposed in contact with said photoreceptor to absorb the solvent from the liquid toner on said photoreceptor, a second roller rotatably disposed in contact with said first roller to absorb the solvent from said first roller, a third roller rotatably disposed in contact with said second roller to remove toner from said second roller, and a cleaning blade for removing the toner from said third roller, said cleaning blade being disposed to be in contact with the third roller during operation of the electrophotographic system, wherein said third roller and said cleaning blade are constructed so that the cleaning blade may be detached from the third roller to provide access to the third roller.
