PURPOSE:To provide an image forming device capable of forming a stable image without a material to be transferred being not extremely cooled by an atmosphere by constituting the titled device with a design not allowing a material to be transferred to be exposed to the exterior of the device during the transfer of a next coloring material after the transfer of one coloring material. CONSTITUTION:If the end of printing is detected, a thermal head 5 is isolated (ST17) from a platen roller 4 by a main control 191. Then the main control 191 drives a pulse motor 46 to transport (ST18) a thermal transfer ribbon 6 to a next color printing point. In addition, the platen roller 4 is reversed by the main control 191 and cut paper Pa is again reverse-transported (ST19, 20, 21) to a printing point as shown by Fig. At that time, the out paper Pa is stored again between paper guide paths 35, 36. Finally the main control 191 decides if a next printing operation covers all the terminal colors designated by a color-designating signal. |
