Abstract
A drier apparatus for drying sheets of photosensitive material processed with processing solutions while the photosensitive material is being transported. Rollers are provided along a transport passage for transporting the photosensitive material, and the rollers transport the photosensitive material and dry the photosensitive material by heating. The rollers are heated by heaters, respectively. The surface temperature of each roller is detected by a temperature detector, and a controller controls the heaters in such a manner that the range of fluctuation of the surface temperature of each roller falls within a predetermined range of values on the basis of the change with time of the detected surface temperatures of the rollers.
