An image recording method includes: forming a latent image on a photothermographic imaging material by exposing a light beam from a light source thereto; and forming a visible image on the photothermographic imaging material on which the latent image is formed by thermally developing it. A wavelength characteristic of the light beam from the light source is selected on a basis of a spectral sensitivity characteristic of the photothermographic imaging material so that a first sensitivity variation of at least one of the thermally developed photothermographic imaging material and the exposed photothermographic imaging material which is before being thermally developed, the first sensitivity variation being caused by a temperature variation, and a second sensitivity variation of the photothermographic imaging material according to a wavelength variation of the light beam from the light source cause by the temperature variation are offset.

Image recording method and apparatus with density control

Image forming method, image forming apparatus and image recording material

Image recording method and apparatus with a beam incident angle changing device

An image recording apparatus wherein a plurality of laser beams are scanned on a color photosensitive material by an optical deflecting device, the laser beams are detected by beam detecting devices, and record starting timings for the laser beams are controlled on the basis of detection signals provided by the detecting devices so that respective record positions of the laser beams are the same.

Image recording apparatus

An image recording apparatus of the invention records an image on a recording medium by a scanning means which performs deflective scanning with light intensity-modulated in accordance with a recording signal. On-line image data is recorded by performing the deflective scanning a plurality of times. The recorded image has a larger number of gray levels than the number of modulation levels.
