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 31):
An apparatus for modifying a portion of liquid carrier applied to an imaging element in a printer comprising:\n a roller; and an engagement mechanism coupled to the roller to:\n for a first layer of liquid carrier applied to the imaging element, disengage the roller from the imaging element to retain the liquid carrier in the first layer on the imaging element, and \n for a second layer of liquid carrier applied to the imaging element subsequent to the first layer, engage the roller with the imaging element to remove a portion of the liquid carrier in the second layer from the imaging element.
