The axes of the photoconductive members are arranged on a plane extending by no more than 45.degree. from the vertical direction. A plurality of developing units supply a liquid developer to each of the photoconductive members to develop latent images thereon. A movable transfer belt contacts the photoconductive members so that developed images may be transferred to the transfer belt. A plurality of cleaning portions are positioned for scraping liquid developer from the photoconductive members. The widths of the cleaning portions progressively increase from the highest to the lowest. An open topped casing is disposed below each of the photoconductive members for catching liquid toner dropping from the photoconductive members.
