Abstract: An electrostatic recorder includes electrostatic latent image recorder elements for forming an electrostatic latent image on a recording medium conveyed at a predetermined speed, a liquid toner feed for feeding a toner to a surface of the recording medium on which an electrostatic image is formed, and a toner recoverer for recovering an excess of toner stuck to the recording medium. The toner recoverer can execute the recovery of an excess of toner not only by suction but also by scraping from the recording medium prior to this suction. Members for eliminating the mixing of foreign matters into the feed side in conjunction with the recovered toner are also provided.
