Definitions

  • the plate-shaped upper carriage 4b nearly parallel to the upper surface of the lower carriage 4a is joined to the lower carriage 4a such that the upper carriage 4b is moved near to or away from the lower carriage 4a in parallel to each other by a parallel crank mechanism 8.
  • the parallel crank mechanism 8, as shown in FIG. 3, is provided in pairs on both sides of the carriage 4 and each of them has a pair of links 9a and 9b which are crossed in a shape of X and are rotatably joined at a crossing position with a pin 10a.

Claims (2)

  1. Aufzeichnungsverfahren mit Mehrfachabstufung unter Verwendung eines Thermotransferdruckers (1), wobei das Verfahren das Bewegen eines Thermokopfes (7) und eines Aufzeichnungspapiers (24) relativ zueinander unter Andrücken des Thermokopfes gegen eine Druckauflage (2) über ein Farbband und das Aufzeichnungspapier hinweg beinhaltet sowie das selektive Schmelzen und Übertragen des wärmeschmelzbaren Farbmaterials des Farbbandes auf das Aufzeichnungspapier beinhaltet, um eine Aufzeichnung mit Mehrfachabstufung auszuführen, wobei das Farbband (17) eine Basissubstanz (26), eine auf die Basissubstanz auflaminierte Trennschicht (27) auf Wachsbasis sowie eine auf die Trennschicht auflaminierte Farbschicht (28) auf Harzbasis aufweist, wobei das Aufzeichnungspapier ein Basispapier (30) aufweist,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass eine Wärmeisolierschicht (31) auf dem Basispapier ausgebildet ist, wobei das Basispapier mit der Wärmeisolierschicht beschichtet ist, in der anorganische Pigmentpartikel (31A) mit einem Durchmesser von 0,5 bis 5 µm sowie Mikrokapseln (31 B) auf Polymerbasis mit einem Durchmesser von 1 bis 3 µm dispergiert sind, und dass durch Steuern der Zeitdauer der Stromzufuhr zu dem Thermokopf in einer Mehrzahl von Stufen in Abhängigkeit von der Abstufung eines aufzuzeichnenden Bildes eine Aufzeichnung mit Mehrfachabstufung auf dem Aufzeichnungspapier ausgeführt wird.
  2. Aufzeichnungsverfahren mit Mehrfachabstufung nach Anspruch 1,
