A liquid developer imaging system comprising a developing container for
receiving a quantity of developing solution, a sensing system for
maintaining a predetermined processing level of developing solution
within the container, a developer roller connected to a first power
supply source that biases the developer roller to a development voltage,
and a skiving element for plating the developing solution onto the
developer roller and scraping excess developing solution from the
developer roller to a predetermined thickness, wherein the skiving
element is connected to a second power supply source for biasing the
skiving element to a skiving voltage, wherein the skiving voltage is
greater than the development voltage.
