Abstract
An imaging device wherein a latent image is formed on a photo and pressure sensitive recording sheet by exposing a light thereon and the latent image is then developed by applying a pressure thereon. The degree of pressing is automatically and/or manually controlled so as to obtain a visible image of stable color deepness and of good quality.
Claims13
An imaging device comprising;
- means for exposing a light on a photo and pressure sensitive recording sheet for forming a latent image thereon;
- means for applying a pressure on said recording sheet for developing said latent image thereon;
- and
- means for controlling a degree of pressing applied to said recording sheet by said pressure applying means.
An imaging device wherein a latent image is formed on a photo and pressure sensitive recording sheet by exposing a light thereon and the latent image is then developed by applying a pressure thereon with a pair of pressing rollers, the improvement which comprises in that the diameter of at least one of said pressing rollers being decreased from the lateral center portion toward both ends portions thereof.
