SYSTEM WHICH REGENERATES A PORTION OF LIQUID COATED ONTO SUPPORTING SURFACE IN IMAGE FORMATION DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To offer a regeneration system which keeps the offset printing image formation system equipped with the filter to filter out a liquid with low friction coefficient having its fiber shedding (drop out) reduced, and its process. SOLUTION: In the system of the image formation device which keeps the supporting surface coated with a liquid and regenerates a portion of this liquid, the roller surface which applies liquid to the supporting surface and the liquid permeation filter having filtration rear face and filtration front face where low friction liner surface is attached are incorporated. The liner surface friction contacts directly to the roller surface, and the filter receives the liquid recovered from the supporting surface of the filtration rear face, and then sends out the rejuvenated and purified liquid from the liner surface to the roller surface through the filtration front surface.
