IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G03G15/10 

FIELD: images forming devices.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to the electrophotographic image forming apparatus, which includes the separation device, for forming the image by the liquid developer and relates to the separating device for separating the toner and the carrier liquid from the liquid developer. Inventive device of image forming comprises the image forming section, which is configured with the possibility to form an image by a liquid developer comprising a toner and a carrier fluid, where the carrier liquid comprising the first substance for imparting an electrical polarity and the second substance having a higher volume resistivity, than the first substance, as the dispersion medium for dispersing the toner, the separating device, which is configured with the possibility to separate the toner and the carrier fluid from the liquid developer that was collected in the mentioned image forming section, the first medium delivery device including the first container, which is capable of receiving a separated carrier liquid from the mentioned separation device, which is capable of supplying a carrier fluid from the mentioned first container, the second carrying agent delivery device including the second container, which is designed with possibility to receive a carrier fluid, in which the proportion of the first substance is less than in the carrier fluid, which s collected from the mentioned separation device, or the first substance is not contained, where the mentioned second carrying agent supply device being capable of supplying a carrier fluid from the mentioned second container and the arrangement section, which is designed with the possibility to receive the carrier fluid that is supplied from the mentioned first carrying agent supply device, and the carrier fluid, which is supplied from the mentioned second carrying agent supply device, the carrier fluid, which is located in the mentioned arrangement section, can be supplied to the mentioned image forming section.

EFFECT: technical result consists in enabling the possibility to suppress the reduction in bulk resistivity of the collected material to be reused.
