ABSTRACT:
The improved image forming apparatus first performs scan exposure on a light-sensitive material, then applies an image forming solvent to the exposed light-sensitive material, brings the light-sensitive material and an image-receiving material into a superposed relationship, and performs thermal development and transfer on the assembly to form an image on the receiving material. The apparatus is characterized by performing image formation with the temperature conditions for thermal development being held substantially constant whereas the other conditions for thermal development and transfer being preset in accordance with various combinations of the light-sensitive and image-receiving materials. The apparatus is capable of selection from a plurality of species of the light-sensitive and image-receiving materials and even if the species of the light-sensitive or image-receiving material to be used is changed, efficient image formation can be done without waiting for the end of temperature adjustments and, furthermore, high-quality image can be formed in a consistent manner.
