ABSTRACT:
A carrier recovery apparatus of a liquid electrophotographic printer includes a drying roller rotating in contact with a photoreceptor belt, for absorbing a liquid carrier from the photoreceptor belt, a heating roller for heating the drying roller, in contact therewith, and evaporating the absorbed liquid carrier, a manifold surrounding the drying roller and the heating roller, for accommodating the evaporated gas carrier, a sealing blade disposed in a gap between the drying roller and the manifold, a condenser for receiving the gas carrier from the manifold and condensing the same, a supply line for supplying the gas carrier in the manifold to the condenser, and a return line for supplying again residual gas carrier which is not condensed in the condenser to the manifold, wherein the gas carrier is condensed while circulating in a closed loop formed by the manifold, the supply line, the condenser and the return line.
