A method and an apparatus for the formation of images are disclosed. The method utilizes a photosensitive sheet on which image-forming areas are successively allocated. The image-forming areas are successively transported into a light-exposure section to be subjected to entire surface exposure and then into a buffer section to be temporarily stored there. Then, the storage image-forming areas are successively transported into a pressure-transfer section to be subjected to a pressure-transfer process while one of the subsequent image-forming areas is subjected to the entire surface exposure at the light-exposure section. The apparatus includes transport rollers for transporting the photosensitive sheet. The transport rollers are so located that they come into contact with the intermediate areas between the image-forming areas of the photosensitive sheet when one of the image-forming areas remains stationary at the light-exposure section to be subjected to the entire surface exposure.
