Abstract: A device provided with a developing roller formed on its periphery with a multitude of valleys and valley, with the crests serving as fluid containing sections which are supplied with a developing fluid. The device is also provided with a doctor member made of a resilient, fluid absorbing material and adapted to adjust the level of the fluid contained in each fluid containing section such that the fluid is maintained at a level below the crests, or the maximum diameter portions of the developing roller. A recording sheet on which an electrostatic image is formed is brought into contact with the developing roller so that the fluid contained in the fluid containing sections selectively adheres to the electrostatic image to render the image visible. The visible images produced by this method may vary in density depending on the quantities of electricity carried by the charged regions of the electrostatic images.
