Abstract:
An image recording method, comprising the steps of:(a) providing at least two sets of image data separated by color, for an image; (b) recording a separated image corresponding to each set of image data on a section of photosensitive material moving in a sub-scan direction while the photosensitive material is being subjected to main scanning by a plurality of light beams; and (c) providing for relative positions of separated images on the section of photosensitive materials to substantially coincide with each other by setting a blank raster line in a first main scan for each section of the photosensitive material; wherein in the step of providing for relative positions of the images, the number of blank raster lines in the first main scan is set for each section of the photosensitive material, based on a distance between a predetermined reference position on each section of the photosensitive material and a position at which the first main scan is started on that section.
