Abstract
An electrostatic latent image is formed on a rotatable latent image bearing member and is developed with a developer into a visualized image on the latent image bearing member. The visualized image is transferred by pressure to a rotatable visualized image bearing member. Those steps are repeated with different color developers to form on the same visualized image bearing member a multi-color image which corresponds to one final image to be recorded. The latent image bearing member and the visualized image bearing member are cooperative to form a nip therebetween, through which a recording material is passed so that the multi-color image is transferred all at once to a recording material. The multi-color image may be a full-color or pictorial image or a combination of monochromatic images of different colors.
