Abstract
A pressurizing image forming apparatus makes use of a photo- and pressure-sensitive heat-developable material including a substrate and a layer formed on the substrate from a heat-developable material which enables the developed image to be fixed by the application of pressure. The image on the exposed photosensitive material is developed by application of heat and then fixed by application of pressure onto an image receiving layer on the photosensitive material itself or a separate image-receiving sheet. The fixing of the image is effected by intermittant application of impact pressure by cooperation between an impact pressurizing means; and platen means disposed to oppose the impact pressurizing means.
