Patent ID: 7483654

Claim:
A wet type image formation apparatus comprising: an image carrier; a developing device forming a visible image on the image carrier by applying a liquid developing agent having a carrier solvent and a solid component to an electrostatic latent image formed on the image carrier; a squeeze member being movable in contact with the liquid developing agent in order to remove a portion of the carrier solvent from the visible image; a liquid developing agent cleaner having a plate-shaped elastic body including an edge, a first part having a first curvature radius and a second part being adjacent to the first part, the second part having a second curvature radius smaller than the first curvature radius of the first part, the liquid developing agent cleaner removing the liquid developing agent from a surface of the squeeze member by bringing the first part not including the edge of the plate-shaped elastic body into pressure contact with the squeeze member; and a transfer device transferring the visible image on the image carrier after passing through the squeeze member to a transfer material.
