A color electrographic recording apparatus (10) produces on a record medium (16) a composite color image comprising a plurality of superimposed component images of different colors, e.g., magenta, cyan, yellow and black. The medium is driven in opposite directions through the apparatus which has a recording head (48) for forming a latent image on the medium, a plurality of developing stations (26, 28, 30, 32) adjacent one side or both sides of the recording station each of the developing stations developing a latent image into a visible image of a respective color. The apparatus passes a section of the record medium past the recording head to form a first latent image which is developed in its respective color before the medium is reversed past the recording head to permit formation of the next latent image followed by its respective color development. This process is repeated until all component latent images and their respective color development have been completed to form a composite color image. The apparatus also includes registration means to compensate for any dimensional changes of the medium section in use so that all the component color images will be superimposed on one another despite any shrinkage or expansion of the medium during processing. |
