<p>PURPOSE:To obtain a recording apparatus enabled in high speed recording and low in running cost, by providing a rotary body rotating corresponding to recording operation, a recording head for irradiating the photoconductive layer of the rotary body with light corresponding to image information and a means for supplying ink having an overcooling characteristic to the conductive layer of the rotary body. CONSTITUTION:A rotary belt 1 rotates to the direction shown by an arrow (a) and light is allowed to irradiate said belt 1 from a recording head 5 corresponding to information. A current flows only to the photoconductive layer 1b of the part irradiated with light from a power source 1b to generate Joule heat. The ink layer 4c applied and formed to a conductive layer 1c is melted by said heat to be brought to an overcooling state and the molten ink is transferred and recorded to a recording sheet 2 by the pressure contact by a press contact roller 6. When the rotary belt 1 further reaches the position of an ink supply means 4, ink is heated by a heater 4b to be applied and supplied to the belt 1 from an ink roller 4a. Because the supplied ink has an overcooling characteristic, the ink is solidified before the belt 1 rotates to reach the position of the recording head 5 to form the ink layer 4c.</p> |
