Abstract

An image recording apparatus for recording an output color image on an image recording medium, provides a cyanogen filter (or a red filter), a magenta filter (or a green filter) and a yellow filter (or a blue filter), each of them relating to a complementary (or same) color of the basic three primary colors (that is red, green and blue). Each filter is insertable into an optical path. The apparatus also provides a plurality of color designation switch buttons designating several kinds of hue colors (excepting the basic primary colors) on an operation panel of the apparatus body. The amount of the insertion of each kind of the filters into the optical path is adjustable by computer control according to the color designation switch buttons.
