Abstract

The printing method includes the steps of (1) Transferring after charging a charged liquid developer dispersion from a surface of the first member optionally via the at least one further member to a substrate, wherein excess liquid developer dispersion remains present on the first member after the transfer; (2) Treating the excess liquid developer dispersion so as to facilitate its removal from the first member (3) removing, at least substantially, the treated excess liquid developer dispersion from the surface of the first member using a removal device, and (4) upon interrupting or terminating the printing, removing material adhered to the removal device.
