Abstract:
In certain examples, a liquid electrophotographic printer has a compressive element. The compressive element removes a portion of carrier liquid from an inked image on an imaging element. The compressive element is selectively engageable and a controller disengages the compressive element for a first layer of liquid toner so as to retain carrier liquid in the first layer, and engages the compressive element for a subsequent layer of liquid toner so as to remove a portion of carrier liquid from the subsequent layer.

Claim (Index 16):
A printer comprising:\n an imaging element; an image development unit to deposit layers of liquid toner onto the imaging element, wherein each layer of the liquid toner comprises ink particles and a carrier liquid; a compressive element to be selectively engaged with the imaging element; a controller to:\n for a first layer of liquid toner deposited on the imaging element, disengage the compressive element from the imaging element so as to retain the carrier liquid of the first layer of liquid toner on the imaging element, and \n for a second, subsequent layer of liquid toner deposited on the imaging element, engage the compressive element with the imaging element so as to remove a portion of the carrier liquid of the second layer from the imaging element; and \n a heatable transfer element to receive the first and second layers of liquid toner from the imaging element to form an inked image and transfer the inked image to a print substrate.
