Abstract (en)
A thermal processor (10) for thermal processing of a thermographic material(1) having an imaging element Ie provides good dimensional stability without undesirable density differences. The thermal processor comprises means for supplying (16) the thermographic material to the thermal processor, a processing chamber (12), means for heating (17) the processing chamber, means for transporting the thermographic material through the processing chamber, means for exporting (19) the thermographic material out of the thermal processor, characterised in that the means for transporting comprise a first belt (21) and a second belt (22) arranged with respect to the first belt so that transporting the thermographic material through the processing chamber is carried out in a sinuous way (4). <IMAGE>
