ABSTRACT:
An image recording apparatus disclosed herein is capable of recording a color image with the use of a photosensitive and pressure-sensitive recording sheet. A latent image is formed on the recording sheet by exposing light emitted from an exposure light source. The latent image formed thereon is subjected to a pressure developement to provide a visible image on a color developer sheet. The visible image is then thermally fixed by a thermal fixing device which comprises a heat storing/radiating means for storing heat generated by the exposure light source and radiating the heat stored therein toward the color developer sheet. The heat storing/radiating means is disposed between the exposure light source and the developer sheet on which the visible image is formed to be in substantial contact with the color developer sheet, whereby no separate heat source is necessary for heating the color developer sheet.
