ABSTRACT:
A print is postprocessed by using a thermal transfer type of video printer in which an array of heater elements is heated in response to a video signal representing an image to transfer a dye from a dye sheet onto an image-receiving medium to record the image on the medium. A flat postprocessing sheet is prepared which has a primary surface worked to form a desired postprocessing surface contour thereon. The medium on which the dye is transferred is set in the video printer with the primary surface of the postprocessing sheet being brought into contact with the surface of the medium onto which the dye is transferred. The video printer is enabled to press the set postprocessing sheet together with the medium carried thereon via the dye sheet onto the medium by the heater array. The heater array is heated to a predetermined temperature to achieve a postprocessing on the medium. The predetermined temperature exceeds a softening point of a material of an image-receiving layer of the medium. The postprocessing sheet includes a material having a softening point higher than the predetermined temperature.
