PURPOSE:To provide excellent hard copy of color image which allows the use of image receiving sheets of various types by the simple constitution by superimposing an image support, comprised of an extremely-thin peeling layer, and the image receiving sheet, pressurizing them under heat, and transferring a toner image together with the entire peeling layer. CONSTITUTION:A transfer sheet 1 is drawn out and fitted on a winding drum 5 and surface potential is made uniform by a pre-electrification electrode 9. Then, an electrostatic latent image is formed by an ion flow control head 2. The formed electrostatic latent image is developed by a developing unit 4 and a sensible image is formed. Subsequently the transfer sheet 1 which has finished development is peeled out of the winding drum 5 are passed through a thermal transfer unit 6 with the image receiving sheet 7 superimposed thereon. The peeling layer on the transfer sheet 1 and the image receiving sheet 7, pressurized under heat by the thermal transfer unit 6, are fused and joined together. When the transfer sheet 1 is peeled from the image receiving sheet 7 by a peeling device 28, the toner image is transferred to the image receiving sheet 7. Since the peeling layer is 1-3mum in thickness, physical incompatibility on the image receiving sheet 7 is hardly given. |
