Zusammenfassung:Imaging apparatus including and image bearing surface (16), apparatus means for forming a toner image on the image bearing surface and an intermediate transfer member (40) comprising a release surface (50) suitable for receiving liquid toner images comprising toner particles and a hydrocarbon carrier liquid from a first surface (16) and for transferring them to a second surface (42), wherein the release surface(50) comprises a material which absorbs or solvates the carrier liquid. The imaging apparatus further includes first transfer apparatus (31) for transferring the image from the image bearing surface (16) to the intermediate transfer member (40), liquid removal apparatus (62) for removing carrier liquid absorbed or solvated by the release surface, the liquid removal apparatus being located downstream of the first transfer apparatus and second transfer apparatus for transferring the image from the intermediate transfer member (40) to a further surface (42).
