ABSTRACT:
A recording intermediate belt15which is made endless so as to travels around a continuous path has image formation areas and non-image formation areas alternately provided on an outer surface thereof. Images of different colors are sequentially formed in the image formation areas by recording heads21bthrough23brespectively provided in first through third image formation sections21through23. The recording heads21bthrough23bof the first through third image formation sections21through23are separated from each other by a distance which is greater than a length of an image formation area in a traveling direction of the recording intermediate belt15. The recording heads21bthrough23bare each pressed onto the recording intermediate belt15in a non-image formation area immediately preceding an image formation area and starts an image formation operation. The image formation operation is stopped when the recording heads21bthrough23beach face a non-image formation area immediately subsequent to the image formation area. Thus, a clear full-color image can be formed with the image formed in each image formation section being free from color non-uniformity.
