PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wet type image forming device and a wet type image forming method by which a carrier liquid component can be recycled by being separately extracted. SOLUTION: Eliminated and recovered liquid developer is passed through a continuous foaming body 41 being the liquid diffusion suppressing member disposed between electrodes 43 and 44 where an electric field is generated and provided with pores. Then, the electrodes 43 and 44 and the foaming body 41 are disposed by being inclined so that the terminating end of the electrode 43 on a non-electrodeposition side is positioned more downward than the terminating end of the electrode 44 on an electrodeposition side at the terminating end parts of the electrodes being the exit of carrier liquid. By this constitution, since the carrier liquid can be made to flow along the terminating end part of the electrode 43, the solid part of toner is prevented from being mixed in the vicinity of the exit of the carrier liquid. Besides, the pure carrier liquid 24 can be extracted from the electrode 43 by constituting so that the terminating end part of the electrode 43 is made to project from that of the electrode 44. |
