Abstract
A print head, printer and recording method wherein dye recording materials 22Y, 22M, 22C are irradiated by a laser beam L or the like so as to vaporize them, and transport them to a recording medium such as an imaging paper, and the path of a beam from a heating beam emitting means, for example a laser 18, is changed so as to selectively cause the beam to impinge on one of the plurality of recording materials. By using the same heating beam emitting means for the plurality of recording materials, the structure of the head comprising the heating beam emitting means is simplified and its assembly is easier. Moreover, as a common heating beam emitting means may be used, its manufacture is easy, and the electrode wiring in the heating beam emitting means is easily implemented.
