ABSTRACT:
An image recording apparatus for recording an image on an image receiving sheet with use of a photosensitive microcapsule sheet on which microcapsules being photohardenable upon exposure and being hardened by heating are applied, is disclosed.
The image recording apparatus comprises an exposing means for rendering the microcapsules hardenable upon exposure thereby, a heating means for forming a latent image on the photosensitive sheet by heating the exposed hardenable microcapsules, a feeding means for feeding the photosensitive sheet to the image receiving sheet through a feeding path and a pressure means for transferring the latent image on the image receiving sheet by pressurizing both photosensitive sheet and the image receiving sheet in superposing the sheets.
In such the image recording apparatus, the feeding means is located downstream the heating means on the feeding path.
According to the image recording apparatus, since the feeding means is arranged downstream the heating means on the feeding path in the present invention, the microcapsules on the photosensitive sheet are never unnecessarily ruptured by the feeding means before the exposed photosensitive sheet is heated by the heating means. Accordingly, the image with good quality can be formed on the image receiving sheet without injuring the formed image to unnecessarily rupture the microcapsules applied on the photosensitive sheet.
