Abstract
An overcoating device can transport a plurality of recorded materials in parallel with spacing and includes a transfer sheet supply unit for supplying a transfer sheet having a transferred layer having a width capable of covering the recorded materials on a support onto the recorded materials, a heating and pressing unit made up of a pair of pressing members, and a stripping unit for stripping the support. When the recorded materials and the transfer sheet pass through the heating and pressing unit, the portion of the transferred layer corresponding to the spacing does not come in contact with the pressing member.
