ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus for forming an image by exposing and developing the photosensitive record medium, the photosensitive record medium having a first microcapsule whose strength is changed by being emitted a blue light, a second microcapsule whose strength is changed by being emitted a green light, and a third microcapsule whose strength is changed by being emitted a red light, the image forming apparatus comprising: an exposing device on which a first light emitting device for emitting the blue light, a second light emitting device for emitting the green light and a third light emitting device for emitting the red light are mounted, for exposing the photosensitive record medium by the blue light, the green light and the red light; a developing device for developing the exposed photosensitive record medium by applying a pressure to the exposed photosensitive record medium; and a transporting unit for transporting the photosensitive record medium from an exposing position where the exposing device is mounted to a developing position where the developing device is mounted, wherein, in the exposing device, the first light emitting device, the second emitting device and the third emitting device are arranged in a transport direction of the photosensitive record medium, the second light emitting device is positioned more distant from the developing position as compared with a position of the third light emitting device, and the first light emitting device is positioned more distant from the developing position as compared with a position of the second light emitting device.
