A picture image recording apparatus includes an image-forming device for forming a light-shielding image on a light-transmissive sheet, an exposure device for exposing a photosensitive recording medium to light through the light-transmissive sheet to form a latent image corresponding to the light-shielding image on the photosensitive recording medium, and either a control device for controlling the image-forming means to form a light-shielding image on a next light-transmissive sheet area to be exposed, during exposure operation by the exposure means, or a standby device for holding the light-transmissive sheet with the image formed thereon in a standby condition. While the photosensitive recording medium is being exposed to light through the light-transmissive sheet, a next light-shielding image to be exposed can successively be formed on the light-transmissive sheet. Therefore, the time required to record picture images can be shortened.

An image recording apparatus for recording an image corresponding to an original on a developing medium with the use of a light-transmissive sheet and a photosensitive recording medium, said apparatus comprising: image-forming means for sequentially forming each of a plurality of light-shielding images on said light-transmissive sheet movable in a predetermined direction; exposing means disposed downstream of said image-forming means relative to the movement of said light-transmissive sheet for exposing said photosensitive recording medium to light through said light-transmissive sheet to form on said photosensitive recording medium a latent image corresponding to said light-shielding image; accumulating means disposed between said image-forming means and said exposing means for accumulating said light-transmissive sheet carrying said light shielding image thereon; developing means disposed downstream of said exposing means for developing said latent image on said photosensitive recording medium into a visible image on said developing medium, said developing medium being held in superposed relation with said photosensitive recording medium; and control means for controlling said image-forming means and said accumulating means to form a subsequent light-shielding image on a light-transmissive sheet during exposure of a photosensitive recording medium through a previous light-shielding image on a light-transmissive sheet and holding the light-transmissive sheet carrying said subsequent light-shielding image in a standby condition at said accumulating means to prevent said sheet from being fed into said exposing means during the exposure through said previous light-shielding image.
