METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC RECORDING AND PRINTING ON PLATE IN IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the image formation system which efficiently loads and takes a medium out by exposing an image to a medium sheet and positioning the image in a specific direction at a specific distance to an alignment axis. SOLUTION: An applicator 162 loads the medium sheet on the inside support surface of a cylindrical drum 156. After an image forming device 154 records the image on the image formation medium sheet, the medium sheet is carried by the applicator 162 to a plate processor 172 through a couple of 2nd rollers forming nips 174 and 176. The plate processor 172 is controlled by a processor controller 170 according to the signal from RIP 120 to process the image-formed medium. The plate processor 172 is a chemical processing unit which uses a recording medium made of a silver base material, and the kind of the medium processor is determined according to the kind of the medium where the image is formed. The processed medium is taken out of the system 100.
