Abstract

There is disclosed an image medium producing apparatus in a color image recording system which transfers an image on an exposed microcapsule sheet to a developer sheet as an image recording medium having a developer material applied onto a support member. The producing apparatus includes a developer material feeding roller, a conductive roller placed opposite to the feeding roller for conveying the support member and an oscillating device for oscillating at least one of both rollers in its axial direction. By oscillation of the roller, the developer material is applied onto the support member uniformly in spite of an uneven surface of the feeding roller or conglomeration of the developer material. As a result, the developer sheet having the developer material applied uniformly can be prevented from irregular coloring of an image.
