A wet-type electrophotographic printer having a photocatalystic filter includes a discharge passage through which air inside a printer body is discharged out, at least one discharge fan positioned inside the discharge passage to guide the air inside the printer body, and a photocatalystic filter positioned inside the discharge passage and having a photocatalystic body coated with a photocatalyst, a plasma electrode and a plasma generator to filter and deodorize the air inside the printer body. Accordingly, a bad smell and air pollution from evaporation of a liquid carrier can be solved, and an excellent printing quality is provided.
