Zusammenfassung:An image forming apparatus includes an exposure unit for forming a latent image on a photosensitive body which is rotating, a developing device, containing liquid developer in which developer particles are dispersed in a solvent, for supplying the liquid developer to the latent image on the photosensitive body and forming a developer image, a squeeze roller, which rotates in contact with the photosensitive body, for removing a surplus of the liquid developer remaining on the photosensitive body after development; and a transfer unit for transferring the developer image to a paper sheet after the surplus of the liquid developer is removed by the squeeze roller. The squeeze roller has a surface configuration which allows contact with the developer image on the photosensitive body with a uniform contact pressure in a contact portion where the squeeze roller contacts to the photosensitive body.
