Abstract (en)
A method for thermally processing a thermographic material m (1) provides good dimensional stability without undesirable density differences. The method incorporates the steps of supplying a thermographic material m to the thermal processor having a processing chamber (12), heating the processing chamber to a predetermined processing temperature Tp, and transporting the thermographic material through the processing chamber in a sinuous way (4) by transporting means comprising a first drivable belt (21) and a second drivable belt (22). <IMAGE>
