PURPOSE:To enable a development replenishing liquid to be supplied efficiently to a first development tank and a second development tank. CONSTITUTION:In a PS plate processor 10, the first development tank 12, an overflow tank 20, a second development tank 14 are arranged along a transport path and in the second development tank 14, the development replenishing liquid is replenished. The overflow tank 20 is divided into a first overflow tank 92 provided with an overflow pipe 46 and a second overflow tank 94 provided with a pipe 48 returning a development liquid to the first development tank 12, with a partitioning plate 90. When the development liquid is replenished to the second development tank, the development liquid in the second development tank is overflowed from a chamfer 88 of the tank wall 86 to be returned to the second overflow tank 94. The development liquid is returned to the first development tank 12 via the pipe 48 and the development liquid in the first development tank 12 overflowed from a chamfer 84 of the tank wall 82 is received in the first development tank. |
