2. Description of the Related Art In the practice of conventional xerography, a charge holding surface such as a photoreceptor (eg, a photoreceptor) is first uniformly charged so that the xerographic surface is statically charged. A common technique is to form a latent image. The charged areas selectively disappear according to the activation irradiation pattern corresponding to the original image. The selective dissipation of the charge leaves a latent image charge pattern on the imaging surface corresponding to the unexposed areas.

This charge pattern is developed by toner and becomes visible by passing the photoreceptor through one or more developer housings. For single color images, the toner typically contains black thermoplastic powder particles that adhere to the charge pattern by electrostatic attraction. The developed image is then fixed to the imaging surface or transferred onto an image receiving substrate such as plain paper and fixed by a suitable fusing technique.

In recent years, color copiers / machines utilizing xerographic and / or inkjet image forming processes
Much effort has been made towards developing printers.
Through such efforts, Xerox (trade name) 5775
(Product name) Copier / Printer, Xerox 4900
(Brand name) and Fuji Xerox A-Color 635 (brand name) devices have been brought to the market.

Despite all recent advances in the field of color printers and copiers, paper and Mylar (trade name) and Teslin (trade name)
There is room for improvement in the quality of color images produced on synthetic substrates such as. The above is especially true when using non-photographic processes to produce photographic quality images.

Attempts to improve conventionally formed color toner images have produced methods of laminating xerographic images on paper using transparent substrates. This approach has been only partially successful because the lamination process tends to reduce the density range of the print, which results in less detail in the print. The laminating process also gives the print considerable weight and thickness.

In addition, the laminating process described above is said to be unsatisfactory because typical color toner images do not achieve proper optical contact at the interface between the laminate and the toner. This means that the initial toner image, which is irregular at the interface, remains irregular after lamination (that is, it still contains voids), light is reflected at at least part of their surface, and toner passage is It is because it is disturbed. In other words, if there is a blank area between the transparent object and the toner image,
The light is dispersed and reflected without passing through the colored toner. If white light does not pass through the toner by being dispersed from the bottom surface of the transparent substrate or the irregular toner surface,
The image contrast will be lost.

Known methods for improving the appearance of color xerographic images on transparent substrates include refusing the color image. Such a process was seen at the Panasonic Exhibition Center at the 1985 NOMDA Trade Fair. The process exhibited uses an offline transparency fuser FA-F100 available from Panasonic with a color xerographic copier to create multicolor toner images on transparent substrates for the purpose of making color slides. It was something to do. The image finally retrieved from the color copier was not suitable for actual projection and was therefore re-fused using the offline diffuser described above. To carry out this process, transparency is placed in a holder, in which a relatively thin transparent plastic sheet and a somewhat rigid support are constructed. This holder is used to feed the imaged transparency to an offline diffuser. This thin transparent sheet is placed on top of the toner layer on the transparency. The transparent material is removed from the holder after passing through the diffuser. This process resulted in a beautiful high gloss image suitable for use in image projectors. The diffuser was also used at the exhibition to refuse color images on paper. However, the gloss changes depending on the image. Thus, when the toner comes into contact with the transparent plastic sheet and is re-fused, it becomes very smooth, so that the gloss becomes high in a region where the toner density is high. In areas where toner is very low or absent, the gloss is simply that of the substrate. The diffuser was also used at the exhibition to refuse color images onto paper.

Other features of the present invention will become apparent by reading the following description with reference to the drawings.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Reference numerals are attached to the drawings to facilitate a broad understanding of the features of the present invention. The same reference numbers in all drawings indicate the same elements.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on at least one preferred specific example, but the present invention is not limited to the specific example, and conversely, the spirit of the present invention defined by the scope of the claims. It will be understood that it is intended to include all alternatives, modifications and equivalents included in the scope.

From the following description, it will be apparent that the present invention is equally well suited for use in a wide variety of printing systems, and is not necessarily limited in its application to the particular system shown herein. Not a thing.

Referring initially to FIG. 2, in operation of the printing system 9, a multicolor original document or photograph 38 is designated by the reference numeral 10 as a raster input scanner (RIS). Raster Input
Scanner). This RIS consists of a document illumination lamp, an optical device, a mechanical scanning drive device,
And a charge coupled device (CCD array).
This RIS captures the entire original document, converts it into a series of raster scan lines, and
The combination of primary color densities at each point in the document (ie the red, green and blue densities) is measured. This information is sent to an image processing system (IPS), generally indicated by reference numeral 12. I
The PS 12 includes control electronics for preparing and processing the image data stream for sending to a raster output scanner, generally designated by the reference numeral 16. Reference number 1
User interface (U
I: User Interface) communicates with the IPS 12. UI
14 allows the operator to control various functions that the operator can adjust. UI 14
The output signal from is sent to the IPS 12. A signal corresponding to the target image is sent from the IPS 12 to the ROS 16, where an output image is created. The ROS 16 lays out the image on a series of horizontal scan lines with each line having a specific number of pixels per inch. ROS 16 includes a laser device having a rotating polygon mirror block attached to it. ROS 16 is used to illuminate a uniformly charged photoconductive belt 20 of a marking engine, generally designated by the reference numeral 18, to create a series of subtractive primary color latent images. The latent images are cyan, magenta,
And developed using yellow and yellow developing materials, respectively. These developed images are transferred onto the final substrate so that they are superimposed on each other to form a multicolor image on the substrate. The multicolor image is then fused to the substrate with heat and pressure, thereby forming a multicolor toner image on the substrate. The printing system 9 can also print a conventional normal image reading toner image on plain paper, or a reverse (mirror) image on various other substrates used in a commercially available 5775 (trade name) copying machine. Can be printed. Still referring to FIG. 2, the printer or marking engine 18 is an electrocopy printer. The photoconductive belt 20 of the marking engine 18 is preferably made of a polychromatic photoconductive material. The photoconductive belt moves in the direction of arrow 22 and successively and sequentially passes the photoconductive surface through various processing stations disposed about the path of travel of the belt. Photoconductive belt 20 is wrapped around moving rollers 24 and 26, tension roller 28, and drive roller 30. Drive roller 3
0 is driven by a motor 32 combined by any suitable means such as a belt drive. When the roller 30 rotates, the belt 20 advances in the direction of arrow 22.

First, a portion of photoconductive belt 20 passes through a charging station, generally designated by the reference numeral 33. At the charging station 33, a corona generator 34
Charges photoconductive belt 20 to a relatively high, substantially uniform electrostatic potential.

The charged photoconductive surface then passes through an exposure station, generally indicated by the reference numeral 35. The exposure station 35 receives a modulated light beam responsive to the information retrieved from the multicolor original document 38 placed on the RIS 10. The RIS 10 captures the entire image of the original document 38, converts it into a series of raster scan lines and sends it as an electrical signal to the IPS 12. The electrical signal from RIS 10 is in response to the red, green and blue densities at each point in the original document. The IPS 12 converts the red, green, and blue density signals, that is, a set of signals corresponding to the primary color densities of the original document 38, into a set of colorimetric coordinates. The operator operates the appropriate keys on the UI 14 to adjust the parameters of the copy. UI 14 is a touch screen,
Or other appropriate control panel and interface between operator and system. UI 14
The output signal from is sent to the IPS 12. The IPS then sends a signal to the ROS 16 depending on the image required, which includes a laser device with rotating polygon mirror blocks. Preferably, 9-sided (facet) polygons are used. ROS 16 is mirror 3
Through 7, the charged portion of the photoconductive belt 20 is illuminated at a rate of about 400 pixels per inch. ROS is
The photoconductive belt is exposed to record three latent images. One of the latent images is developed with cyan developer. The other latent image is developed with magenta developer and the third latent image is developed with yellow developer. ROS
The latent image created by 16 on the photoconductive belt is IPS
It corresponds to the signal sent from 12.

According to the invention, a document 3
8 preferably includes black and white or color photographic prints. Various other documents could be employed without departing from the scope and true spirit of the invention.

After the electrostatic latent images have been recorded on the photoconductive belt 20, the belt advances the latent images to a development station, generally designated by the reference numeral 39. The development station includes four independent developer units designated by the reference numerals 40, 42, 44 and 46. This developer unit is of the type commonly referred to in the art as a "magnetic brush developing unit". Magnetic brush development systems typically employ magnetic developer materials that include toner particles that are triboelectrically attached to magnetic carrier particles. The developer material is continuously conveyed to the directional magnetic flux region to form a brush of developer material. This developer material constantly moves so that the brush is continuously supplied with new developer material. Development is accomplished by contacting a brush of developer material with the photoconductive surface. Developer units 40, 42 and 44 each employ toner particles of a particular color corresponding to the complementary color of the electrostatic latent image decomposed into the particular color recorded on the photoconductive surface. The color of each toner particle is adapted to absorb light within a preselected spectral range of the electromagnetic spectrum. For example, the electrostatic latent image formed by discharging the charged portion of the photoconductive belt corresponding to the green areas of the original document has red and blue areas of relatively high charge density on the photoconductive belt 20. Record the part,
On the other hand, the green area is lowered to a voltage that has no effect on development. This charged area is then made visible by the developer unit 40 supplying green electrostatic (magenta) toner particles to the electrostatic latent image recorded on the photoconductive belt 20. Similarly, the blue separation is developed by providing developer unit 42 with blue absorbing (yellow) toner particles, while the red separation is developed by providing developer unit 44 with red absorbing (cyan) toner particles. Developer unit 46 contains black toner particles and is used to develop an electrostatic latent image formed from a black and white original document. The developer units are moved so as to move in and out (up and down) of their respective operating positions. In the operating position,
The magnetic brush is in close proximity to the photoconductive belt and in the inoperative position the magnetic brush is remote from it. In FIG. 2, developer unit 40 is in the operative position and developer units 42, 44 and 46 are in the non-operative position. During development of each electrostatic latent image, only one developer unit is in the operating position and the remaining developer units are in the non-operating position. This ensures that each electrostatic latent image is developed with toner particles of the appropriate color without mixing.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate the scavengeless or non-interferometric development systems (non-in) known in the art.
It will be appreciated that a teractive development system) can be used in place of the magnetic brush development structure. The use of a non-interfering development system for all but the first developer housing eliminates the need to move the developer housing relative to the photoconductive imaging surface.

After development, the toner image is sent to a transfer station, generally designated by the reference numeral 65. Transfer station 65 includes a transfer zone indicated generally by the reference numeral 64. In the transfer zone 64, the toner image is transferred to the transparent substrate 25. At transfer station 65, a substrate transporting device, generally designated by the reference numeral 48, moves substrate 25 into contact with photoconductive belt 20. The substrate transport 48 has a pair of spaced belts 54 wrapped around a pair of substantially cylindrical rollers 50 and 52. The base material gripper (not shown) is the belt 54.
It protrudes between and moves with the belt. Substrate 2
5 is taken out from the stack of substrates 25 stacked on the tray. Friction retard feeder 58 stack 5
The uppermost base material of 6 is sent to the pre-transfer conveying unit 60. The carrier unit 60 sends the base material 25 to the base material carrier unit 48. Substrate 2
5 is sent forward by the transport unit 60 in synchronization with the movement of the substrate gripper (not shown). In this way,
The front end of the base material 25 reaches a predetermined position, that is, a loading zone, and is received by the open base material gripper. The substrate gripper is then closed and moves in the circulation path while holding the substrate 25. The front end of the base material 25 is held by the base material gripper in a detachable state. When the belt 54 advances in the direction of the arrow 62,
The substrate contacts the photoconductive belt and is in sync with the toner image developed thereon. In the transfer zone 64, a corona generator 66 sprays ions onto the backside of the substrate to charge the substrate to the appropriate electrostatic voltage and polarity, thereby attracting the toner image from the photoconductive belt 20. The base material moves in the circulation path for three cycles while being held by the base material gripper. In this manner, the three different color toner images are transferred onto the substrate so as to be superimposed on each other, forming a composite multicolor image 67 (FIG. 1).

Referring again to FIG. 2, those skilled in the art will appreciate that in the case of undercolor removal and black generation, the substrate travels four cycles through the circulation path and also the information of two original documents on a single substrate. It will be understood that when synthesizing into 2, it moves through the circulation pathway for up to 8 cycles. Each electrostatic latent image recorded on the photoconductive surface is developed with an appropriately colored toner and transferred in superimposed and registered form onto the substrate to give a multicolored original document in color. A duplicate image will be formed. As is well known, this imaging process is not limited to producing color images, but the process disclosed herein can be used to produce black and white photographic quality simulated prints of high optical density. It can also be produced.

After the final transfer operation, the substrate gripper opens to release the substrate 25. The substrate is moved by the conveyor 68 in the direction of the arrow 70 to a thermal and pressure fusing station, generally designated by the reference numeral 71, where the transferred toner image is permanently fused onto the substrate. The fusing station includes a heated fuser roll 74 and a pressure roll 72. The substrate passes through the nip defined by fuser roll 74 and pressure roll 72. The toner image contacts fuser roll 74 and is fused onto the transparent substrate. Then, this base material is sent to the outlet opening 78 by the pair of rolls 76, and the base material 25 is sent out from here. Alternatively, this base material is provided with a catch tray 77 by a pair of rollers 76a.
You can also send it to.

The final processing station in the direction of movement of the belt 20, which is indicated by the arrow 22, is a cleaning station, generally designated by the reference numeral 79. A rotatably mounted fibrous brush 80 is located at the cleaning station to remove residual toner particles remaining after the transfer operation while maintaining contact with the photoconductive belt 20. The lamp 82 then illuminates the photoconductive belt 20 to remove any residual charge remaining on the belt before the start of the next successive cycle.

The total thickness of the third coating layer is about 0.1 to about 25 μm, preferably about 0.5 to 10 μm, although this thickness can be outside these ranges.

The coating composition described above may be applied to the substrate in any suitable manner. For example, these coatings can be applied by many known methods including melt extrusion, reverse roll coating, solvent extrusion, and dip coating. In the dip coating method, the web material to be coated is transferred below the surface of the coating material (usually dissolved in a solvent) by a single roll to saturate the exposed surface, then This is done by removing the excess coating with a blade, bar, or squeeze roll; and the process is repeated with the appropriate coating material for other laminated coating applications. In the case of the reverse roll coating method, a pre-weighed amount of coating material, which is usually dissolved in a solvent, is transferred from the steel applicator roll to the web-like material to be coated. The metering roll is fixed or is rotated at a low speed in the opposite direction to the applicator roll. In the slot extrusion coating method, a flat die is used to apply the coating material, which is usually dissolved in a solvent, with the die tip in close proximity to the web material to be coated. If multiple coats are applied simultaneously, the die can be of one or more slots. In the case of performing multi-layer slot coating, a multi-layer liquid layer is formed in a gap (contact) between a moving web and a coating liquid to form a coating. The stability of the interface between the two layers depends on the thickness, concentration and viscosity ratio of the two coating liquid layers which need to be as close as possible. After the desired amount of coating has been applied to the web, the coating is typically air dried at about 25 to about 100.
It is dried at ℃.

The laminated recording sheet of the present invention has a small curl (amount of warping) when printed with a water-based ink. In general, the term "curl" refers to a recording sheet in its width direction (or in the short side-e.g., In the case of a 8.5 x 11 inch sheet, the side of 8.5 inches, i.e. in the longitudinal or long side, e.g. It refers to the distance between the base line of the arc and the center point of the arc when viewed in a cross section of the side opposite to the 11 inch side in the case of a 5 × 11 inch sheet. To measure curl, hold the center of the long side of the sheet (eg, the 11 inch side for an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet) with your thumb and forefinger and place it on a standard template curve drawn beforehand. This is done by matching the arcs of the sheet.

The optical density measurements quoted herein were obtained on a Pacific spectrograph color system. This system consists of two main components: an optical sensor and a data terminal. The optical sensor employs a 6 inch integrating sphere to provide diffuse illumination and a 2 degree field of view. This sensor can be used to measure both transmittance and reflectance samples. When measuring a reflected light sample, a specular component will also be included. A high resolution, fully dispersive, grating monochromator was used to scan the spectrum from 380 to 720 nm. The data terminal was a 12-inch CRT display, and a numeric keyboard was used for selecting operating parameters and inputting tristimulus color values, and an alphabet keyboard was used for inputting standard product information. Print-through values are characterized by the printing industry Log bas
