Abstract
A process and system for forming images on a recording sheet, according to source image information as provided on an original, wherein a pressure-sensitive photosensitive sheet is image-wise exposed to a radiation, to form thereon latent images corresponding to the source image information, and a pressure is applied to the image-wise exposed photosensitive sheet, to cause a chemical reaction and thereby develop the latent images into visible images on the recording sheet. The thus pressurized recording sheet is heated so that the chemical reaction is promoted to thereby increase a density of the visible images.
