Abstract
In a recording apparatus which prints desired symbols on a record receiving member with heat ray absorbing colored material, a heat ray source is provided for heating a printed surface. A roller assembly including a roller impregnated with luster is disposed in such a manner that the printed and heated surface is brought into contact with the impregnated roller. The printed symbols are glossed by the luster since the printed symbols are pre-heated.
