A high-speed image formation apparatus with a simple construction, which is economical and light in weight, and can save space and energy. In the Figure, the apparatus comprises laser scanner means (11) for scanning an object with a laser beam emitted from a laser beam source; ink jet means (13) for holding a printing material such as ink in a region adjacent to the surface of a printing medium (14) and along a direction transversely crossing the conveying direction of the printing medium, and jetting the printing material at the portion, which is irradiated by the laser beam scanned along this region, towards the surface of the printing medium; conveyor means (12) for conveying the printing medium; and printing control means (10) for controlling the laser scanner means (11) and the conveyor means.
