ABSTRACT:
A color thermal printer has three thermal heads disposed along a transport path of a thermosensitive recording sheet. Each of the thermal heads are supported in movable fashion between an advanced position where the thermal heads are pressed against the recording sheet, and a retracted position away from the recording sheet. An advancing period is predetermined to precede a time point when each thermal head starts being driven. The thermal heads are serially moved to the advanced position, from the retracted position slowly during the predetermined advancing period, gradually to raise the pressing force of the thermal heads to the recording sheet. A full-color image is thermally recorded to the recording sheet by the thermal heads in the advanced position while the recording sheet is transported in one direction.
