PURPOSE: To prevent heat from radiating and dissipating to environment, enhance the heating efficiency of a recording material and contrive to enhance the flying efficiency of the recording material by a method wherein the porous structure for retaining and feeding the recording material and the heater for thermally flying the recording material are provided so as to be separated from each other on the base material provided on a recording material housing part. CONSTITUTION: On the spacer 82 provided on a recording material housing part opposite to a body to be recorded, the porous structure or the group of small columnar bodies 80 and the heater 75 for a thermally flying recording material are provided so as to be separated from each other. Thus, the heat developing from the heater 75 does not substantially fly to the porous structure. Further, since no porous structure is present above the surface of the heater 75, the heat of the heater is directly applied to the heating of dyes and consequently fully utilized. Accordingly, the heating efficiency to dyes by the heater 75 is enhanced so as to enhance the evaporating efficiency of the dyes in order to allow to improve recording performance. |
