ABSTRACT:
A color image forming apparatus and method in which the color image information of the document, supplied from a reciprocally moving scanner is converted into color component signals corresponding to the color components of the ink ribbon. These component signals are sequentially supplied to the thermal head for each color component signal, and they are overlappingly transferred and copied onto the copy paper one color at a time. The scanner scans only the number of times equal to the number of color components of the ink ribbon. One color component signal is sequentially supplied to the thermal head at the time of each scanning, and the image of one color is formed simultaneously with the scanning. The copy paper is repositioned after each scanning and the process is repeated until all color components have been applied to the copy paper, thus producing a color copy of the original document.
