To improve the operation efficiency, in the case of producing a full color proof or press plates classified by color by successively receiving image data classified by color from a host side, in a wet type electrophotographic device.
This device receives respective image data of the next color by sending data transmission demand to a host side in the time band, from the completion time of a latent image forming in the recording process (electrification 8/latent image forming 22-9a-9-11/preliminary wet 12/development 14 and 16/trailing end process 13) concerned with the color of this time corresponding to a photosensitive material sheet 2 being set on a rotary drum 1, to the before and after fixing stage, for receiving respective image data of the next image, and makes the fixing process 18 and the static charge elimination process 19 simultaneously executed. In a conventional way, the time consuming data transmission and fixing stage is severally executed in series, however drastic reduction of the necessary time for whole processing stages can be realized by simultaneously executing both of them.
