PURPOSE:To enable high-quality images to be transferred onto an ordinary paper, by providing a binder on a base, then placing an excess of image-forming elements thereon, and separating and removing the image-forming elements which are not in contact with the binder by a gas flow. CONSTITUTION:A binder 1b is applied to a base 1a, and microcapsules 1c are sprinkled from a hopper 5 onto the layer of the binder 1b, thereby binding the microcapsules to the binder. Of the microcapsules, only those being in contact with the binder are bound, and the other ones are blown away by air jetted from a gas jetting means 7, to be recovered into a recovering container. The gas jetted from the gas flow jetting means is preferably a gas having low activity, e.g., air on N2. Where a thermosetting-type binder is used as the binder, an accelerating effect on the hardening of the binder can be obtained when a heated gas is jetted. |
