Abstract
Disclosed are an electrophotographic apparatus and a method for forming an electrophotographic image, in which a solvent recovery surface is rotated in a direction opposite to a moving direction of an image-holding surface having a liquid developer containing a toner and a solvent supplied thereto at a speed 1 to 4 times as high as the rotating speed of the image-holding surface such that the solvent recovery surface is apart from the image holding surface and in contact with the solvent attached to the image-holding surface at the position where these solvent recovery surface and image-holding surface are closest to each other, so as to remove at least partially the solvent from the image-holding surface.
