Abstract
A heat development and transfer process in which a photosensitive material and an image receiving material are laminated and wound around an outer peripheral surface of a drum, the photosensitive material and the image receiving material being pressed and laminated between at least one roller and the drum. The photosensitive material and the image receiving material are heated while being conveyed along the outer peripheral surface of the drum synchronously with a rotation of the drum. The photosensitive material and the image receiving material laminated are kept in a state in which they are pressed onto the outer peripheral surface of the drum by a belt supporting mechanism or a roller support mechanism. Subsequently, the photosensitive material and the image receiving material are passed through the entrance of the heating conveying path again, and then the photosensitive material and the image receiving material are stripped.
