Abstract
A method for transferring an image from an image sheet to an image-receiving sheet while the sheets are superposed, and an apparatus therefor. A support plate of good thermal conductivity and rigidity is placed against the sheets, and a cover sheet superposed remotely from the support plate. The resulting assembly is passed through a pair of heated rollers. Cooling rollers may cool the superposed sheets following image transfer. Additional cooling may be provided.
