Abstract
An image recording apparatus employs a photo- and pressure-sensitive heat-developable material having a substrate and a layer formed on the substrate from a material which is photo-sensitive and heat-developable and which enables the developed image to be fixed by a pressure. The apparatus has the following major parts: an exposure device for exposing the material to an original image so as to form a latent image corresponding to the original image on the photo-sensitive material; a heat-developing device for thermally setting the portion of the material corresponding to the latent image thereby immobilizing the image; a pressing transfer device for superposing the material and an image-receiving material in contact with each other and pressing them together; and a conveyor drum defining a path of convey therearound. At least two of the exposure device, the heat-developing device and the pressing transfer device being arranged along the path.
