To simply form in a short time by converting a plurality of pieces of visual information into electric signals, controlling to combine images to output them, and recording visually recognizable information, thereby improving the degree of freedoms of design of an image forming material.

A plurality of pieces of visual information (for example, a client's attitude image photographed real time) of different input systems or a plurality of pieces of visual information sequentially input by using the same input means are converted into electric signals, which are concentrically managed by an input signal control means, and combined. The thus combined information is output onto an image receiving sheet via an output means such as a color video printer or a digital color printer. The image receiving sheet has only a base material 1 made of heat shrinkable plastic sheet in the case of a simplest structure, and additive layers such as a dye receiving layer 2, an intermediate layer 3 and a rear surface layer 4 are arbitrarily provided on the base material of the sheet.
