Abstract
A UV-fixable thermal recording apparatus uses UV-fixable color thermal recording paper, uniformity of light intensity distribution, high efficiency and miniaturization of a fixing lamp to prevent degradation of the print quality this apparatus has at least one fixing lamp, and a row of heating resistors in the form of a plurality of heating resistors arranged parallel to the direction of paper delivery. The width in the direction of paper delivery of an area of the paper exposed by the fixing lamp is made larger than the length of the row of heating. resistors. The fixing lamp and the row of heating resistors are so arranged that the position of an (end on the upstream side in the forward direction of paper delivery) of the exposed area of the fixing lamp is on the downstream side of the position of an end (on the upstream side in this direction) of the row of heating resistors.
