Abstract:
A liquid elect electrophotographic image forming apparatus, the apparatus comprising:a photosensitive body; a charge unit charging the photosensitive body to a charge potential; an exposure unit projecting a beam onto the charged photosensitive body to form a latent electrostatic image; a developing solution supply unit supplying a developing solution to the photosensitive body, the developing solution having high concentration where a non-volatile carrier is used as a dispersion solvent; a developing unit receiving the developing solution having the high concentration, forming a developing film having the high concentration, and developing the latent electrostatic image; a transfer unit contacting the photosensitive body and moving the developed image to a recording medium; and a fixing unit fixing the transfered image in the recording medium at a temperature lower than a flash point of the non-volatile carrier.
