PURPOSE:To remove unevenness in density at a boundary between adjacent resistance heating element groups, by a method wherein the adjacent resistance heating elements at the boundary between divided blocks are shifted in an image receiving paper feeding direction to a line of other resistance heating elements to be provided on a base material. CONSTITUTION:A resistance heating element R2.1 contained in a divided block R2 in which current application control is successively performed in two resistance heating elements provided near a boundary between adjacent divided blocks R1, R2 is installed on a base material 1 shifting by L in an image receiving paper feeding direction from a line of the other resistance heating elements R2.2-R2.N contained in the same group R2. Thereby, when current application control is applied to the divided block R1, a transfer sheet and an image receiving paper are fed and then, current application control is applied to the divided block R2, a recording dot P2.1 by the element R2.1 is not so shifted as a distance L0 how the image receiving paper is fed. Therefore, a gap G between the dot P1.N and the dot P2.1 which is generated since ink material is not transferred is small, a boundary between the adjacent divided blocks R1 and R2 is not seen as a white line, and an image of good quality can be obtained. |
