<p>A loosening device is positioned downstream from a feeding device for feeding a photosensitive material in a first direction relative to the direction, so that the photosensitive material is loosened to form a loop of a predetermined length. A cutting device is disposed between the loosening device and the feeding device and cuts off a sheet of photosensitive material from the photosensitive material. An image to be reproduced is recorded onto the photosensitive material sheet. <IMAGE></p>
