A delivery unit for a wet-type printer, which comprises: a delivery guide for guiding a paper fused with an image to exit the printer along a paper path, the delivery guide comprising a first guide member and a second guide member spaced a predetermined interval from each other within the carrier vapor collection duct to form the paper path; a duct for collecting carrier vapor generated from the paper by the latent heat remaining on the paper which passes through the delivery guide, the duct comprising an upper housing and a lower housing, the delivery guide being disposed in the duct to form a first air passageway located between the first guide member and the upper housing and a second air passageway located between the second guide member and the lower housing, the first and second air passageways being substantially coplanar with the paper path; and a vent arranged on one side of the duct to discharge the carrier vapor collected in the space and an inlet arranged on the side opposite to the vent to direct airflow through the first and second air passageways to facilitate the discharge of the carrier vapor through the vent.
