Image forming process

摘要

An image forming process comprising steps of arranging on a support member, in accordance with image signals, image forming particles containing dye former which develops its color in reaction with a color developing agent, heat-transferring the dye former from the particles to an image receiving substrate. After the heat-transfer step, the color developing agent is caused to adhere to the dye former heat-transferred on the image receiving substrate to provide colored images. Choice of the image receiving substrate and the color developing agent is expanded. Fogging is not caused, color purity is not lowered, and the other image receiving material is not polluted due to reevaporation of the dye former which is on the image receiving substrate and is not reacted with color developing agent.
