Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member; a transfer member configured to form a transfer portion where the toner image is transferred from the image bearing member by being supplied with a transfer bias; a carrier liquid supplying portion configured to supply the carrier liquid to the transfer portion; a transfer bias voltage source capable of applying the transfer bias to the transfer portion; a detecting portion configured to detect at least one of a voltage and a current at the transfer portion; and a setting portion configured to set the transfer bias during non-image-formation on the basis of a detection result of the detecting portion when a setting bias is applied from the transfer member in a state in which the carrier liquid is in the transfer portion.

Claim (Index 6):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n an image bearing member; a charging device configured to charge said image bearing member; an exposure device configured to expose a surface of said image bearing member charged by said charging device to form an electrostatic latent image thereon; a developing device, rotatably provided with a developer bearing member bearing a liquid developer containing toner and a carrier liquid, configured to develop the electrostatic latent image on the surface of said image bearing member at a developing portion by being supplied with a developing bias with the toner, said developer bearing member being movably provided between a developing position where said developer bearing member and said image bearing member contact each other and a spaced position away from said image bearing member; and a controller configured to control said charging device so as to charge said image bearing member based on an image formation instruction signal, wherein said controller is configured to control said developing device so as to move said developer bearing member from the spaced position to the developing position after a leading end of a region of said image bearing member which is charged by said charging device passes through the developing portion.
