An image-transfer apparatus, comprising a platen 8, having a cut-off portion 9 at its surface and for the attachment thereto of an image-forming material, and a transfer cylinder 1 having a cut-off portion 2 at its surface and for the attachment thereto of an image receptor, the platen and the transfer cylinder being arranged to form a nip therebetween for the introduction into the nip of the image-forming material and the image receptor whereby, in use, upon rotation of the platen and the transfer cylinder, an image formed in a photosensitive layer of the image-forming material may be transferred to the image receptor, the apparatus further comprising printing pressure adjusting means 22 for adjusting the position of the platen relative to the axis of rotation of the transfer cylinder and/or the position of the transfer cylinder relative to the axis of rotation of the platen, and two first gears 30, 31 for rotating the platen and the transfer cylinder using actuation means, one of the first gears being positioned coaxially with the axis of rotation of the platen and the other of the first gears being positioned coaxially with the axis of rotation of the transfer cylinder. <IMAGE> |
