ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An image fixing unit for use in a wet-type electro- photographic copying machine capable of forming a latent electrostatic image on a photoconductor element, developing said latent electrostatic image to a visible toner image and transferring said visible toner image to a transfer sheet, comprising (a) a first image-fixing section for heating directly an unfixed toner image formed on a transfer sheet by a developer comprising a toner and a carrier liquid, thereby fixing the toner image to the transfer sheet, which transfer sheet may have a carrier liquid absorbing capacity A or B with respect to the carrier liquid, where A > B; (b) a second image-fixing heating section for minimizing the content of the carrier liquid in the developer by which the toner image is formed, thereby fixing the toner image to the transfer sheet by application of heat thereto; and (c) a switching device for selectively making operable at least one of the first image-fixing heating means or the second image-fixing heating means, depending upon the carrier liquid absorbing capacity of the transfer sheet.
