PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To output a hard copy with high throughput even in the case of using an ordinary plug socket as a power source by irradiating photosensitive heat developable recording material after recording a latent image by exposure with developing light and developing the image by photo-thermal conversion. SOLUTION: The photosensitive heat developable recording material A constituted by forming a photosensitive heat developable image forming layer on a supporting body such as a polyethylene terephthalate(PET) film is used for an image recorder 10, where the material A is image-exposed so as to record the latent image, and then the exposed material A is thermally developed so as to develop color, and outputted as the hard copy where the image is formed. Various kinds of recording material of heat developing (heat developing color) type where the image can be recorded by the exposure can be used as the material A used in this developing method. Such material A is thermally developed by the photo-thermal conversion by using the developing light, whereby the hard copy where the image is formed is obtained. |
