PURPOSE:To bring a recording material into contact with an ink layer on an ink roller without distorting the ink layer and obtain an accurate recorded image free of distortion, by disposing a support roller for supporting a transferring means at a position outside a transferring region. CONSTITUTION:Transfer feeding rollers 8 and 9 are disposed on both sides of a transferring region 7 in which a recording material 4 makes contact with an ink layer 2 on an ink roller 1. The recording material 4 is provided with a sufficient contact stroke in the transferring region 7 by the transfer feeding rollers 8 and 9 cooperating with sheet feeding, so that a transfer roller is not required, and the ink layer 2 is not distorted in the transferring region 7. In the case of color recording, a loop form feeding belt 40 to be brought into contact with ink rollers 11, 12 and 13 disposed in parallel, with respective ink rollers therebetween, is stretched between a driving roller 41 and a driven roller 42, and support rollers 81, 82, 83 and 84 for supporting the feeding roller 40 are disposed on both sides of individual transferring regions 71, 72 and 73. The ink layers make contact with the belt 40 over sufficiently long strokes in the transferring regions 71, 72 and 73, so that the ink layers are not distorted. |
