Abstract
A print image treatment device is formed of a contact member which is coated on the peripheral surface with an excessive ink removing liquid incompatible with printing ink for forming a print image and having a lower surface tension than the printing ink, and is rotated in a specific direction, a facing member which serves to bring the printed side of a printed paper into contact with the excessive ink removing liquid by feeding the printed paper nipped between the contact member and the facing member, a supply means for supplying the excessive ink removing liquid to the peripheral surface of the contact member, and a cleaning means which contacts the peripheral surface of the contact member. The angle of the cleaning means from the tangent line of the peripheral surface is within a range of 5 to 60 degrees.
