PURPOSE:To output a monochrome image during forming a color image, by providing a controlling part for operating, synchronously or independently, a printer part for making mask original plates and a color printer part for outputting a color image by use of the mask original plates. CONSTITUTION:Based on data obtained through color separation by an external device, mask original plates are sequentially made on an ordinary paper by a laser printer part B, and are brought into close contact with a photosensitive microcapsule sheet 900. Then, the mask original plates subjected to exposure in a close contact condition are not directly discharged, and are passed through a color printer part C a predetermined number of times by switching a paper- feeding passage 20a by a branching unit. Namely, the passage 20a is set to have a length greater than at least two sheets of the mask original plates, and circulation through the passage is repeated to output a predetermined number of sheets of color images. After the mask original plates are made, the laser printer part B can be operated independently from the color printer part C, and a monochrome image is outputted even during forming the color image. |
