PURPOSE:To enhance transfer efficiency of heat development transfer by feeding a specified amt. of water between a developed heat developable photosensitive material and an image receiving layer so as to spread it along their overlying line and overlaying them to transfer the developed image. CONSTITUTION:When the forward end of an image receiving material P reaches the closely contact rollers 33, feed rollers 22, the rollers 33, and feed rollers 34 rotate and a prescribed amt. of water is fed from a feed pipe 30 to the overlaying line of a photosensitive material N and the material P. The water drops 48 immediately spread along the joint line of both materials N, P to form beads 49, being distributed almost uniformly in the width direction of both materials. The surface of the developed material N and that of the material P in contact fed with water as a diffusing adjuvant pass between heaters 35 to progress heat transfer of an image, and they are ejected from an outlet 9. Since a dye is transferred to the dye fixing layer of the image receiving material in a state of overlaying the layers one on the other, heat development transfer can be executed satisfactorily.
