Abstract
A multicolor recording apparatus includes a number of recording sections for applying different colors of inks. A main transport path travels through all recording sections, while bypass paths are provided for recording sheets which are to be recorded monochromatically, for example, so that any one or more of the recording sections may be bypassed. To eliminate wastage of ink donor sheet, the web containing the solid ink is not conveyed in recording sections bypassed by the sheet.
