Abstract (en)
A thermal processor (7) and method is adapted to process a film having a resistive heating layer (39). The thermal processor includes a voltage source (30) which applies a current to a conductive member such as a conductive roller (25b, 27b) of the processor. The conductive roller contacts a film (5) having a resistive heating layer so as to pass the current to the resistive heating layer and heat the resistive heating layer. The heat from the resistive heating layer serves to heat the film to develop images on the film. <IMAGE>
