Abstract
An image-transfer apparatus performs highly accurate registering and comprises a platen having a cut-off portion on its surface, being prepared for attaching an image-forming material thereto, and a transfer cylinder having a cut-off portion on the surface being prepared for attaching an image receptor thereto. The apparatus allows the introduction of an image-forming material and an image receptor into a nip formed by the platen and the transfer cylinder by the rotation of the platen and the transfer cylinder to transfer an image formed in a photosensitive layer of the image-forming material to the image receptor. The image-transfer apparatus further has a printing pressure adjusting device for adjusting the movement of the platen towards the axial center of the transfer cylinder or the movement of the transfer cylinder towards the axial center of the platen, and two first gears which rotate the platen and the transfer cylinder with an actuation mechanism. One of the first gears is positioned coaxially with the rotation axis of the platen, and the other of the first gears is positioned coaxially with the rotation axis of the transfer cylinder.
