Abstract
An exposure device for use in an image recording apparatus for exposing a photosensitive recording medium to light so as to form a latent image thereon. The device comprises a sheet storage cartridge detachably provided to the image recording apparatus, the cartridge being formed of a light-shielding material for storing therein the photosensitive recording medium and having an exposure zone on an outer surface thereof; exposure means which emits an original image carrying light directing in alignment with the outer surface for exposing the first surface of the photosensitive medium in the exposure zone to light to form the latent image on the photosensitive medium; sheet feeding means driven in timed relation with an exposure for pulling the photosensitive recording medium from the sheet cartridge and positioning the medium at the outer surface; and, a color-tone controlling means fixed to the outer surface and having a reflectivity distribution for exposing the second surface of the photosensitive recording medium for correcting exposure amount with respect to the photosensitive medium with at least one of specific light having at least one of selected wavelengths.
