Abstract
The present invention provides an image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording material having light interference in which a latent image is formed when irradiated with light and the latent image is rendered visible when heated, which includes a latent image forming light source for irradiating the recording material with incoherent light to form a latent image. The image forming apparatus gives no interference band.

An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording material, which comprises a latent image forming means for irradiating said recording material with incoherent light to form a latent image, said latent image being rendered visible by heating;
- said recording material having light interference and comprising a support and a photosensitive emulsion layer provided on at least one side of the support, wherein said photosensitive emulsion layer comprises silver halide grains having an average grain size of not more than 0.2 μm and has an absorbance with respect to said incoherent light within an exposure wavelength range of not more than 0.5.
A recording system comprising an image forming apparatus and a recording material,
- said apparatus comprising a latent image forming means for irradiating said recording material with incoherent light to form a latent image, said latent image being rendered visible by heating,
- said recording material having light interference and comprising a support and a photosensitive emulsion layer provided on at least one side of the support, wherein said photosensitive emulsion layer comprises silver halide grains having an average grain size of not more than 0.2 μm and has an absorbance with respect to said incoherent light within an exposure wavelength range of not more than 0.5.
