Abstract

An image recording apparatus in which the thermal recording material has a transparent support which is provided with a plurality of transparent thermal color-developing layers. The transparent thermal color-developing layers are successively heated and developed in their respective colors while the thermal recording material is transported, to recording an image onto the thermal record material. The image recording apparatus contains a setting unit for judging the position at which the image is to be recorded, to set heating timing. Accordingly, it is possible to cause the color-developed positions of the respective transparent color-developing layers on the thermal recording material to be in agreement with each other.
