Summary: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recovery device that, before a liquid developer recovered from a developing member is transported through a transport pipe, can reduce the density of a toner in the recovered liquid developer, and an image forming apparatus.SOLUTION: A diluent L is added to an excess developer E recovered from a developing roller 52 and reserved in a reservoir member 104 to enable a reduction in density of a toner in the excess developer E before the excess developer E is transported through a transport pipe 106.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】現像部材から回収した液体現像剤が輸送管によって輸送される前に、回収した液体現像剤のトナー濃度を低下させることができる回収装置、画像形成装置を得る。【解決手段】溜込部材104に溜め込まれている余剰現像剤Eに希釈剤Lを加えることで、現像ロール52から回収した余剰現像剤Eが輸送管106によって輸送される前に、余剰現像剤Eのトナー濃度を低下させることができる。【選択図】図1 |
