ABSTRACT:
A thermal-image-transfer recording apparatus which heats a thermally fusible ink sheet in a selected pattern and transfers the image formed to a superimposed recording sheet, has separate units for holding the ink sheet and the recording sheet. The units engage for recording and disengage when not recording. The recording and ink sheets travel along separate passages in their respective units. A platen roller is disposed in one of the units, and the recording head in the other unit.
Problems due to deformation by heat and humidity are overcome by the disclosed arrangement.
