ABSTRACT:
A wet type image forming apparatus forms an image in accordance with an electrophotographic imaging process using a developing solution containing a toner in a carrier solution. The image forming apparatus includes a developing roller that holds the developing solution thereon, the developing roller being electrically charged to attract a toner contained in the developing solution toward its surface, a photoconductive drum on which a latent image to be developed is formed, the photoconductive roller being arranged to contact the developing roller, a scraping blade disposed in contact with the developing roller, the scraping blade scraping off the developing solution that has not been consumed for developing from the surface of the developing roller, and a toner separator that separates the toner that has not been consumed for developing from the surface of the developing solution carrier before the developing solution is scraped off by the scraping blade.
