Abstract
A device including a plurality of image-formation units stacked one over another, and a photosensitive body, provided in each of the image-formation units, which has an electrostatic image formed thereon. Also included is a development unit, provided in each of the image-formation units, which develops the electrostatic latent image with a liquid development agent to create a development-agent image on the photosensitive body. In addition, a sheet-conveyer/transfer unit is included which transfers the development-agent image formed by the image-formation units onto a sheet conveyed by the sheet-conveyed transfer unit.
