Summary: | An apparatus in which an electrostatic latent image is developed with liquid toner. The apparatus has a liquid extruder (48) that extrudes a thin film of liquid toner which is attracted to the electrostatic latent image forming a liquid image on a photoconductive surface (12). The extruder is electrically biased (66) to a suitable magnitude and polarity to ensure that the liquid toner is attracted to the latent image. A vacuum is applied (64) on the liquid toner as it is being attracted to the latent image so as to reduce the thickness of the layer coated thereon. |
