Abstract

A development processing apparatus in which a photosensitive material is processed in processing solutions, and thereafter, the photosensitive material which has been processed in the processing solutions is subjected to drying processing by a dry air from a drying machine built in the development processing apparatus, comprising: a re-drying section which delivers the dry air from the drying machine to the outer side of the development processing apparatus; and photosensitive material holding means in which, in order to dry again the photosensitive material which has been subjected to drying processing by the dry air from the re-drying section, the photosensitive material which has been subjected to drying processing is held such that the surface of the photosensitive material which has been subjected to drying processing is substantially parallel to the direction of the dry air delivered from the re-drying section. Therefore, even if the plurality of photosensitive materials which have been subjected to drying processing are held by the photosensitive material holding means, each surface of the photosensitive materials which have been subjected to drying processing is substantially parallel to the dry air from the re-drying section, and the dry air flows between the photosensitive materials adjacent to each other. Accordingly, the photosensitive materials which have been subjected to drying processing are reliably dried again.
