ABSTRACT:
It is an object of the present invention to provide an image-recording process and an image-recording apparatus, even at high density image and high speed image output, capable of suppressing the occurrence of curl in the final image sheet, and controlling and giving the desired direction and size of the curl. For this purpose, an image-recording process includes recording an image on an image-recording material which includes a thermoplastic resin contained layer on a support, heating the image-recording material to a temperature higher than a glass transition temperature of thermoplastic resin in the thermoplastic resin contained layer, controlling the curl by contacting a curl controlling member with at least a part of the image-recording material, and cooling the image-recording material to a temperature below the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin.
