An electrophotographic apparatus using a liquid developer of the present
invention includes a photosensitive member which holds an electrostatic
latent image, a plurality of developing unit which supply liquid
developers including toner particles and carrier liquid to the
photosensitive member to form a visible image, a visible image
stabilizing unit which enhances adsorption among toners constituting the
visible image on the photosensitive member and between the toners and the
photosensitive member by an electric field, a drying unit which dries the
visible image formed on the photosensitive member, a periphery of the
visible image, or the carrier liquids included in the visible image by an
air current, and a shielding unit which is disposed between the drying
unit and the visible image stabilizing unit and which prevents deposits
attached to the photosensitive member surface together with liquid
droplets of the carrier liquid existing on the photosensitive member
surface from reaching the visible image stabilizing mechanism.
