ABSTRACT:
An electrophotographic printing machine in which an electrostatic latent image recorded on a moving photoconductive member is developed with a liquid developer material having a liquid carrier and toner particles to form a toner particle image. The toner particle image is and liquid carrier are transferred from the photoconductive member to a sheet of support material. An electrically biased electrode having a slit therein coupled to a vacuum pump removes, through the slit, liquid carrier from the gap between the electrode and photoconductive member. The electrical bias on the electrode generates an electrical field sufficient to maintain the toner particle image substantially undisturbed as air and liquid carrier are withdrawn from the gap.
