Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a transfer system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the transfer system uses a thermal transfer sheet 20 to print an image on a receiving layer 13 (see FIG. 3) provided on the connecting film 10, a printing device 50, and a card set 40 of the connecting film 10. A laminating device 60 that is laminated and fixed on top of the laminating device 60 and a control device 30 that controls the operation of each part are provided.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the card set 40 is composed of two card base materials 40A and 40B arranged adjacent to each other. The card base materials 40A and 40B are substantially rectangular and have the same dimensions. In the present embodiment, the card base material 40A and the card base material 40B are separate bodies, and one side of the card base material 40A is in contact with each other.

The card base materials 40A and 40B may be a connected body in which at least a part of one side is connected. In this case, it can be easily bent at the central portion of the connecting body (the connecting portion between the card base material 40A and the card base material 40B). When the connecting body is bent, the connecting portion is broken, and the card base material 40A and the card base material 40B become separate bodies.

The card base materials 40A and 40B are made of, for example, a synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride, polyester, polycarbonate, polyamide, polyimide, polycellulose diacetate, polycellulose triacetate, polystyrene, acrylic resin, polypropylene, or polyethylene. Synthetic paper, wood, metal plate or the like may be used as the card base material. The thickness of the base material is about 100 μm or more and 5 mm or less, and the size can be developed in various sizes based on, for example, ID-1 (length 53.98 mm × width 85.60 mm), which is an international standard for cards. The shape of the card base material is not limited to a rectangle, and can be any shape. For example, the shape of one card base material is semi-circular, the star shape is divided in half, and the heart shape is divided in half so that the shape of the card set 40 is circular, star-shaped, or heart-shaped.

Examples of the material of such a support 11 include various plastic films or sheets such as polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyarylate, polycarbonate, and polyurethane. The thickness of the support 11 is preferably about 12 μm or more and 50 μm or less.

At this time, various designs can be made by transferring the card set a plurality of times. For example, when the card base material is transparent, first, a connecting film 10 (first connecting film) including a receiving layer 13 forming a normal image or character is laminated and fixed on the card set. Subsequently, an image is formed on the receiving layer 13 of another connecting film 10 (second connecting film) by transfer of metal ink or the like, and the connecting film 10 (second connecting film) is transferred to the connecting film 10 (second connecting film) on the card set. It is transferred onto the first connecting film) and laminated. As a result, it is possible to give a design that overlaps motifs. It is also possible to give depth to the image by making the thickness of the support different between the first connecting film and the second connecting film.

As the material for forming the receiving layer 13, a conventionally known resin material that easily accepts a heat-transferring coloring material such as a sublimation dye or a heat-meltable ink can be used. The material of the protective layer 12 is not particularly limited, and a conventionally known protective layer can be appropriately selected and used. As the material for forming the protective layer 12, for example, acrylic resin, polyester, or the like can be used.

The area between the detection marks 15 is a region for forming an image to be transferred to the card set 40, and the ink is thermally transferred to the receiving layer 13 to form an image. The image-formed connecting film 10 is attached onto the card set 40.

As will be described later, in this embodiment, the image is transferred to one surface of the card set 40. Therefore, the area between the detection marks 15 is preferably twice or larger than the main surface of the card 40A (40B) so that the detection marks 15 are not transferred to the card set 40.

When the detection mark 15 is formed by an invisible light absorber such as an ultraviolet absorber or an infrared absorber, the detection mark 15 may be transferred to the card set 40, so that the size of the area between the detection marks 15 is large. Is not limited to the above. Further, instead of using a connecting film in which the detection marks 15 are formed at regular intervals in advance, the detection marks for the next screen may be printed when printing an image for one screen. The detection mark may be a mark for alignment at the time of image formation, or may be a mark for alignment at the time of transferring an image to the card set 40.

The thermal head 53 descends toward the platen roll 54, and the thermal head 53 comes into contact with the platen roll 54 via the thermal transfer sheet 20 and the connecting film 10. The platen roll 54 is rotationally driven to feed the thermal transfer sheet 20 and the connecting film 10. During this time, the region of the molten layer 26 of the thermal transfer sheet 20 is selectively heated by the thermal head 53 based on the image data transmitted to the thermal head 53. As a result, an image is formed on the connecting film 10.

When the sizes of the dye layer 25 and the molten layer 26 are about the same as the image forming region between the detection marks 15 of the connecting film 10, an image is formed using one set of color material layers 27.
