Abstract
A liquid drop, which remains at a trailing end portion of a base surface side of a sheet which has passed through a roller pair, is removed by a first liquid drop removing roller which contacts only the base surface side. A spreading roller, which spreads moisture which has moved to a surface of the first liquid drop removing roller, is pressed to tightly contact the first liquid drop removing roller. A second liquid drop removing roller contacts only an emulsion surface of the sheet, and removes a liquid drop adhering to the emulsion surface. A spreading roller is pressed to tightly contact a surface of the second liquid drop removing roller as well, and spreads moisture at the surface thereof.
Claims18
A photosensitive material processing apparatus having a squeezing section which, while nipping and conveying by a roller pair a photosensitive material which has been processed by a processing liquid, squeezes the photosensitive material and feeds the photosensitive material out to a drying section,
- wherein the squeezing section has a drying roller which contacts an emulsion surface of the photosensitive material at a conveying direction downstream side of the roller pair, and the drying roller has a hydrophilic surface and removes the processing liquid from the emulsion surface of the photosensitive material.
A photosensitive material processing apparatus having a squeezing section which, while nipping and conveying by a roller pair a photosensitive material which has been processed by a processing liquid, squeezes the photosensitive material and feeds the photosensitive material out to a drying section,
- wherein the squeezing section has a drying roller which contacts a base surface of the photosensitive material at a conveying direction downstream side of the roller pair, and the drying roller has a hydrophilic surface and removes the processing liquid from the base surface of the photosensitive material.
A photosensitive material processing apparatus having a squeezing section which, while nipping and conveying by a roller pair a photosensitive material which has been processed by a processing liquid, squeezes the photosensitive material and feeds the photosensitive material out to a drying section,
- wherein the squeezing section has a first drying roller and a second drying roller, and at a conveying direction downstream side of the roller pair, the first drying roller contacts an emulsion surface of the photosensitive material and the second drying roller contacts a base surface of the photosensitive material, and the first drying roller and the second drying roller have hydrophilic surfaces and remove the processing liquid from the emulsion surface and the base surface, respectively, of the photosensitive material.
An apparatus for processing a sheet-shaped photosensitive material, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one roller pair which, while nipping therebetween and conveying a photosensitive material which has been subjected to liquid processing, squeezes processing liquid from the photosensitive material;
- and
- one roller which has a hydrophilic surface and which, at a conveying direction downstream side of the at least one roller pair, contacts one side surface of the photosensitive material in a state in which another side surface of the photosensitive material is free, thereby removing the processing liquid from the one side surface.
