ABSTRACT:
The improved image recording apparatus includes a cutter for cutting a web of light-sensitive material into sheets of a specified length; a recorder which transports the cut sheets of light-sensitive material for scanning and exposes them in a specified recording position by recording light modulated in accordance with digital image data; a back printer for recording a back print on a reverse surface of the light-sensitive material; a cutting buffer as a transport zone of the light-sensitive material which is provided downstream of the cutter in the direction of transport of the light-sensitive material for scanning; a pre-exposure butter as a transport zone of the light-sensitive material which is provided upstream of the recording position in the direction of transport of the light-sensitive material for scanning; and a post-exposure buffer as a transport zone of the light-sensitive material which is provided downstream of the recording position in the direction of transport of the light-sensitive material for scanning. The image recording apparatus is of a type that cuts a light-sensitive material into sheets which are then subjected to digital raster scan exposure. The apparatus is characterized by minimization of the pathlength of the light-sensitive material which is defined as the distance from the cutter to the developing machine and this contributes to cost and size reduction but a marked improvement in efficiency.
