Abstract
A color image recording apparatus capable of simultaneously perform pressure developing operation with respect to one light exposed section of the image recording medium and exposure operation with respect to a following section of the identical image recording medium. A buffer means is disposed between the exposure unit and the pressure developing unit for absorbing a sheet slack which will be generated by reversal feed of the image recording medium. Already light exposed section of the image recording medium initially merely passes through the pressure developing unit without undergoing pressure developing operation. Then, for the pressure developing operation, the light exposed section is reversally travelled toward the exposure unit, to provide the slack. Meanwhile the following section of the recording medium can undergo exposure at the exposure unit.
