    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a developing member, a developer supply unit, a pulsating pump, and a correction unit. The developing member is to be supplied with a liquid developer from a supply member and is configured to develop an electrostatic latent image formed on an image carrier. The developer supply unit forms a closed space together with the supply member. The closed space stores the liquid developer. The pulsating pump is configured to feed the liquid developer to the closed space at a predetermined reference flow rate. The correction unit is configured to make a correction to achieve increase or decrease with respect to the reference flow rate according to presence or absence of image information used for forming the electrostatic latent image, in units of a predetermined processing length in a process direction intersecting a development width on the image carrier.

    摘要: An example developer unit includes a developer roller. The developer unit also includes a set of electrodes proximate to the developer roller. The set of electrodes form a cavity. The developer unit includes an inlet to the cavity. The inlet is to receive printing fluid. The developer unit includes an insert in the inlet. The insert is to distribute the printing fluid evenly in the cavity.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion configured to form an image with a liquid developer containing a toner and a carrier liquid, a separating device, a first carrier supplying device, a second carrier supplying device, and an accommodating portion configured to accommodate a carrier liquid supplied from the first carrier supplying device and a carrier liquid, in which a ratio of a first substance is smaller than that in the carrier liquid collected from the separating device or no first substance is contained, supplied from the second carrier supplying device. The carrier liquid accommodated in the accommodating portion is capable of being supplied to the image forming portion.

    摘要: Herein is disclosed a method of electrostatic printing. The method may include forming a latent electrostatic image on a surface and transferring a first volume of a charged toner to the latent electrostatic image on the surface. The method may also include transferring a second volume of a charged toner to the surface, such that a toner image comprising the first volume of charged toner and the second volume of charged toner is formed on the surface, the second volume of charged toner being disposed on the first volume of charged toner. The method may also include transferring the image to a print substrate.

    摘要: 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.
