Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for recording by transferring a transfer layer of ink, dye, etc. onto plain paper.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional recording method of this type is shown in FIG. In the figure, 11 is an insulating substrate, (2) is a heating resistor, (31 is a lead connected to the heating resistor (2), and (4) is a cover that covers and protects the heating resistor (2). (5) is a transfer layer made of, for example, heat-melting ink, +61H transfer layer (6), a paste layer made of polyethylene terephthalate, for example, a 171H transfer layer ( 6), transfer paper consisting of base layer (6), (8) transfer paper consisting of plain paper, (9) transfer paper (1), transfer paper (8)
This is a rubber roller for conveying all parts.

Next, the operation will be explained. Multicolor recording on plain paper has traditionally been desired, but in recent years, thermal transfer recording methods that utilize heat have become popular. This thermal transfer recording is an insulating substrate 1!
), a pulse voltage is applied from the lead (31) to the arrayed dots (31), and the heat-fusible ink of the transfer layer (5) is melted by the heat generated by the dots.
Ink is transferred from the base layer (6) onto the transfer paper (8), which is plain paper, and characters, symbols, etc. are printed on it.The transfer paper (7) and the transfer paper (8) are all conveyed by a rubber roller. (9)
Continuous recording is performed by transporting the paper. Furthermore, by changing the color of the ink in the transfer layer (6), multicolor recording becomes possible.

Here, the heat from the heating resistor (2) is efficiently transferred to the transfer paper (
1), and transfer paper (7) and transfer paper (8)
As shown in Fig. 2, the transfer paper (7) and the transfer paper (8) are brought into close contact with the heating resistor (2+) using the conveying rubber roller (9). Now, in order to prevent wear on the heat generating resistor (2) due to the conveyance of the transfer paper (7) and the transfer paper (8), and to fully protect the heat generating resistor (2), a wear-resistant material was used. The heating resistor (2) was covered with a good wear-resistant layer (4) of TaIO3 or the like. - Therefore, the recording distance of this recording method is determined by the thickness of the wear-resistant layer (4).

The thicker this wear-resistant layer (4) is, the longer the wear resistance distance will be, but the thicker it is, the lower the thermal efficiency and thermal properties will be. It was decided.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Since the conventional recording method is constructed as described above, the lifespan and performance of the recording device are determined by the thickness of the wear-resistant layer, resulting in a short lifespan and poor thermal efficiency, making it difficult to achieve satisfactory recording quality. There were problems such as not being able to do so.

This invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a recording method that can extend the life of a recording device and provide high recording quality.

[Means for solving problems]

Is the recording method according to this invention a transfer layer of transfer paper? The transfer layer is transferred to the transfer paper by applying energy using a laser beam or light that passes through a glass plate.

[Effect]

In the recording method of the present invention, a transfer paper and a paper to be transferred are conveyed onto a thick glass plate, and transmitted light is applied only to the contact point between the glass plate and the transfer paper to give energy to the transfer paper, and the transfer layer of the transfer paper is It is characterized by the fact that it is transferred and transferred to the recording paper at a temperature of 10°C.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
In the figure, (5) is a transfer layer made of heat-melting ink, (6) is a base layer made of polyethylene terephthalate, and (7) is a transfer layer (5) and a base layer (6).
), (8) is a transfer paper made of plain paper, (9) is a rubber roller for conveyance, (101t'! is a thick glass plate that becomes a transparent plate, (the river is a shielding plate that blocks light, etc., θ Smell is laser light.

Next, the operation will be explained. Transfer paper (7) and transfer paper (
8) Conveying by the rubber roller (9) for all conveyance is the same as in the conventional case. Now, transfer the transfer paper (
7) In order to fully convey the transferred paper (8), a support is required, and as shown in FIG. 1, a glass plate (10) of sufficient thickness to withstand wear serves as a support. In addition, only the contact position between the glass plate (10) and the transfer paper (7),
The glass plate f101 is covered with a shielding plate (11) so that light is transmitted from the bottom surface of FIG. 1 in the direction of the arrow. When the laser beam θ is applied to this transmitting position, the laser beam α is transmitted through the transparent glass plate QOI and the base layer (6) made of nearly transparent polyester terephthalate, and the transfer layer (
Energy is concentrated in the heat-melting ink (6), the ink melts, and is transferred to the transfer paper (8) to perform recording. This energy is adjusted by the wavelength, frequency, output control of the laser beam, thickness material of the glass plate, etc., and transfer conditions for good recording quality are determined. Although the base layer is made of polyethylene terephthalate, the present invention is not limited to this and may be a layer that is transferred from the base layer to the receiving paper by exposure to other light.

In addition, although a transparent glass plate has been described as a transmitting plate, it may also be a colored glass plate or other material that completely transmits Rede light of a specific wavelength. In this case, a transparent glass plate for the purpose of wear resistance may be used. In addition to its function as a material that can replace the glass plate, by selectively transmitting Raded light of a specific wavelength, wavelength-selective materials can also be used for the transfer layer, making it easy to create colors. You can get the effect of

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, since the transfer layer t is configured to be transferred to the transfer paper using the energy of the laser beam, it is possible to obtain a long life in terms of wear and to obtain a recording with good quality. .
