Abstract:
In one example, a method for drying a developer unit of a liquid electrophotographic printer. After printing is complete, development voltage biases are applied to the developer unit while a liquid marking agent flows to the developer unit. The liquid marking agent flow to the developer unit is stopped. Drying voltage biases, lower than the development voltage biases, are applied to the developer unit. Idle voltage biases are applied to the developer unit when dry.

Claim (Index 10):
A liquid electrophotographic printer, comprising:\n a developer unit to develop a latent image, comprising\n multiple rollers defining plural nips, and \n an electrode adjacent one of the rollers defining a gap; \n a flow arrangement to provide charged ink to the rollers adjacent the electrode; plural voltage sources each to apply a corresponding voltage to one of the rollers and the electrode; and a controller to\n enable the flow arrangement, \n set the voltage sources to development voltages for a first time, \n disable the flow arrangement, and \n before the nips are dry, set the voltage sources to drying voltages lower than the development voltages for a second time to dry the unit with reduced ink residue in the gap and the nips.
