ABSTRACT:
A drying device, for use with an electrostatic recording apparatus arranged such that an electrostatic latent image of an image to be recorded is formed on a surface of a recording paper moving through a predetermined moving path and the latent image is developed by applying a liquid toner to the surface of the recording paper and for drying the recording paper after application of the liquid toner, includes an air blower or suction unit for supplying or drawing an air; and an air guiding mechanism for guiding the air from the air blower to outside or from outside to the air suction unit through an area adjacent to the surface of the recording paper, wherein the air guiding mechanism includes an air passage extending from the air blower or the air suction unit to the predetermined moving path and an opening defined between at least by a part of a side wall of the air passage and the surface of the recording paper moving through the predetermined path for allowing the air to pass therethrough to outside or the air suction unit and the opening has a size sufficiently smaller than a size of a cross-section of the air passage perpendicular to a direction in which the dry air flows through the air passage to regulate flow of the dry air when passing the opening.
