Description

  The present invention relates to a printing support sheet for an inkjet printer and a printing jig for an inkjet printer, which are conveyed to an inkjet printer and printed on a printing target paper. There are various types of paper to be printed, and examples thereof include standard paper such as business cards and tags, and include paper suitable for printing in an ink jet printer. Here, since the paper suitable for the ink jet printer is determined by the combination with the ink jet printer, it is not necessarily limited to the combination of the general purpose printer and the paper for general purpose ink jet, and there may be a combination of the special ink jet printer and the paper suitable for the special ink jet printer.

With the development of home and office inkjet printers, a variety of printing has become possible. In addition to printing documents, it is also being used for printing on small form paper such as business cards and tags. However, A4 and B5 size plain papers are suitable for home and office inkjet printers, and special feeders may be required when printing small form paper such as business cards and tags. There were many problems that required the purchase of feeders. In addition, there is a problem that it takes time to print small pieces of standard paper such as business cards and tags one by one.
Therefore, in the prior art, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-122257 is known as a device for simultaneously printing a plurality of small form papers such as business cards and tags with an ink jet printer without a special feeder.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-122257 discloses a technique that enables printing of a small piece of standard paper (label) with a laser printer, an ink jet printer, a copier, a word processor, and the like, and a label that can be separated through a cut. Paper is used. Prior to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-122257, it is known that a cut that can be separated into small pieces of standard paper (label) size is made on a piece of paper, and the cut is cut off after printing and separated into pieces of fixed paper (label) of each small piece. It was done. In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-122257, the problem is that tearing of the outer ring and the protrusion of the folds are noticeable when each label is divided after printing the label paper, and the cut of each label has the same depth as the thickness of the paper. It was made up of all the cuts punched in and shallow cuts punched to a depth shallower than the thickness of the paper so that when the labels were cut along the cuts, the tearing of the cuts and the protrusions of the folds were not noticeable Is. In other words, all the cuts punched out to the same depth as the paper thickness and the seams that remain in the paper thickness are alternately arranged so far, and when the labels are separated by the cuts, the paper thickness can be broken. This is a technique that makes the joints shallower than the thickness of the paper.

JP 2003-122257 A

However, the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-122257 relating to label printing paper provided with cuts has the following problems.
The first problem is that the label printing paper with cuts is made so that the tearing of the cuts and the protrusions of the folds are not noticeable when the labels are cut along the cuts. As long as there is a joint in the printed label printing paper, it is impossible to cleanly clean it flat and without unevenness, and there is a problem that the cut of the cut and the protrusion of the crease remain. Standard paper such as business cards and tags are commercially available in a finely cut form, and it is ideal to use the standard paper such as business cards and tags as they are. However, as described in the prior art, a special feeder is required and printing time is required when printing standard paper such as business cards and tags as they are one by one.
The second problem is that the label printing paper provided with the cuts is manufactured and sold as a dedicated paper, and is often expensive. Standard paper such as business cards and tags are marketed in a beautifully cut form, and the cost is not particularly high.

In view of the above problems, the present invention uses a standard paper such as a business card or tag as it is, and prints it with an ink jet printer, and the periphery of the standard paper such as a business card or tag after printing is flat and beautiful and inexpensive. An object of the present invention is to provide a printing support sheet for an inkjet printer that can be made available.
Further, in view of the above problems, the present invention provides a printing support sheet for an ink jet printer that can use a standard paper such as a business card or a tag as it is and print a plurality of sheets at once with an ink jet printer to shorten the printing time. The purpose is to provide.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a printing jig for an ink jet printer for arranging standard paper such as business cards and tags in a predetermined state.

  In order to achieve the above object, a printing support sheet for an ink jet printer according to the present invention is a printing support sheet for an ink jet printer that is transported to an ink jet printer and printed on a printing target paper. Has a base sheet that has a degree of adhesiveness that is detachable and holds the printing target paper on the adhesive surface, and a width corresponding to a printing margin of the ink jet printer with respect to the periphery of the base sheet And a plurality of sheets to be printed are arranged and pasted on the base sheet so as not to reach the margin.

  With the above configuration, business cards and tags can be used as they are, and multiple sheets can be printed at once using an inkjet printer. It can be shortened.

  In the above configuration, it is preferable that the peripheral margin of the base sheet is not sticky, and only the range inside the peripheral margin is sticky. Since printing is not possible in the area above the print margin, the margin margin of the base sheet corresponding to the print margin is not required to be printed, so the margin margin does not require stickiness. In the state where the stickiness is present, the stickiness may cause problems due to the sticking or sticking in the transport mechanism of the ink jet printer, so that the stickiness is not given.

  In order to achieve the above object, the printing jig for an inkjet printer according to the present invention has one surface having adhesiveness, and a printing target paper to be printed by the inkjet printer is pasted and held on the adhesive surface. A printing jig for an ink jet printer that attaches the print target paper to a predetermined position with respect to a base sheet, having a height sufficiently larger than the thickness of the print target paper, and along the base sheet A base sheet guide for adjusting the base sheet in a correct posture; and a thickness approximately the same as the thickness of the paper to be printed; and connected to the base sheet guide, and the base sheet is aligned with the base sheet guide Cover a range corresponding to the periphery of at least one long side and one short side of the base sheet, Serial and print margins the same width as or a larger width of the ink jet printer the print target sheet guide those provided on the substrate.

With the above configuration, it is possible to arrange standard paper such as business cards and tags in a matrix along the paper guide to be printed, and it is easy to arrange standard paper such as business cards and tags themselves. Furthermore, since the width of the paper guide to be printed is the same width as or larger than the print margin of the inkjet printer, the distance between the base sheet guide and the paper guide to be printed when viewed from above is equal to the print margin or When the base sheet is placed along the base sheet guide, the paper to be printed arranged in a matrix is inside the print margin with respect to the base sheet when viewed from above. The relationship is located in
When the base sheet is placed on top of the print target paper along the base sheet guide with the sticky side down, the print target paper lined up in a matrix on the sticky side of the base sheet is positioned in the specified position (print margin). It will be affixed to the inside position of.

  By using such a printing jig for an inkjet printer, the printing support sheet for an inkjet printer of the present invention can be manufactured quickly and at low cost.

  Similarly, in the above configuration, it is preferable that the peripheral margin of the base sheet is not sticky, and only the range inside the peripheral margin is sticky. Since printing is not possible in the area above the print margin, the margin margin of the base sheet corresponding to the print margin is not required to be printed, so that the margin margin does not require stickiness. This is because, in the state where the stickiness exists, the stickiness may cause a problem due to being stuck or stuck in the transport mechanism of the ink jet printer.

According to the printing support sheet for an ink jet printer of the present invention, it is possible to print a plurality of sheets at once using an ink jet printer by using a standard paper such as a business card or a tag as it is. The periphery is flat and beautiful, and the printing time can be shortened.
Further, by using the inkjet printer printing jig, the inkjet printer printing support sheet of the present invention can be produced quickly and at low cost.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be specifically described by way of examples. The present invention is not limited to these examples.

  A configuration example of a printing support sheet for an inkjet printer according to the present invention will be described. The following is an example of a printing support sheet for an ink jet printer, and business card paper is given as an example of printing target paper, but it can be applied to various sizes and shapes as a printing support sheet for an ink jet printer of the present invention. Is possible.

FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing an outline of the structure of a printing support sheet 100 for an inkjet printer according to the present invention.
A printing support sheet 100 for an ink jet printer according to the present invention includes a base sheet 10 and a print target paper 20 that is affixed on the base sheet, and is conveyed to an ink jet printer (not shown) to be printed. It is something to be printed on.

The material of the base sheet 10 is not limited, but a material that can be conveyed into an ink jet printer, for example, a flexible material such as paper, a plastic film, or cloth is preferable.
The base sheet 10 has an adhesive property so that the attached material can be freely attached and detached on one surface thereof. Adhesiveness that allows attachments to be freely attached is adhesive enough to allow temporary attachment of stickers, as seen on sticky notes for some stationery, and can be easily removed. It is sticky enough to peel off. The paper to be printed is affixed and held on the adhesive surface.

  The print target paper 20 is a paper to be printed by the ink jet printer, but is a standard paper such as a business card or a tag. In this example, it is paper for business card printing. In this example, the corresponding inkjet printer is an inkjet printer that is widely used for home use. For example, it is assumed that the print margin is “10” mm in both the top, bottom, left, and right. For example, when the printing target is A4 plain paper, the peripheral edge of the A4 plain paper is 10 mm.

  In the base sheet 10, a width (10 mm in this example) corresponding to the printing margin of the ink jet printer is set as the peripheral margin 11 with respect to the peripheral edge. In the printing support sheet 100 for an inkjet printer according to the present invention, the inkjet printer prints the base sheet 10 as if it were a sheet for normal printing (for example, A4 plain paper), so the peripheral edge 10 mm of the base sheet 10 corresponds to the printing margin. In other words, here, the width corresponding to the print margin of the ink jet printer is defined as the peripheral margin 11.

As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of print target papers 20 are attached to the base sheet 10 so as not to reach the peripheral margin 11.
Here, it is preferable that the marginal margin 11 of the base sheet 10 is not tacky and only the range 12 inside the marginal margin 11 is tacky. This is because the printing target paper 10 is not disposed in the margin margin 11 of the base sheet corresponding to the print margin because printing is not possible in the area on the print margin, and the margin margin 11 does not require adhesiveness. This is because if the margin 11 has adhesiveness, the adhesiveness may cause problems due to sticking or sticking in the conveyance mechanism of the ink jet printer.

Next, FIG. 2 shows a state in which printing is performed on the print target paper 20 using the inkjet printer printing support sheet 100 shown in FIG. The inkjet printer printing support sheet 100 is input as it is to a conveyance mechanism of an inkjet printer (not shown). The ink jet printer develops data received from a personal computer (not shown), controls the driving of the printer head, and performs printing while conveying the base sheet 10 as if it is a little thick plain paper. Predetermined printing can be performed on each print target paper 20. In this example, necessary printing as a business card is performed on each print target paper 20.
After printing, each print target paper 20 can be easily peeled off from the base sheet 10, and the print target paper 20 on which necessary printing has been performed can be obtained.

  A configuration example of a printing jig for an inkjet printer according to the present invention will be described. As in the first embodiment, an example of a printing jig for an ink jet printer is taken up, and a business card paper is taken as an example of a printing target paper. However, application to various sizes and various shapes is possible.

FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing an outline of the structure of the printing jig 200 for an inkjet printer according to the present invention.
The inkjet printer printing jig 200 is a jig for efficiently manufacturing the inkjet printer printing support sheet 100 described in the first embodiment, in which a plurality of pre-formed sheets are arranged on the base sheet 100. is there. In other words, the print target paper is attached to the base sheet on which the print target paper has a stickiness that is detachable on one side, and the print target paper to be printed by the inkjet printer is held on the sticky side. It is a jig to be attached at a predetermined position.
The inkjet printer printing jig 200 includes a base sheet guide 210, a printing target paper guide 220, and a substrate 230 including a printing target paper developing unit 231.

  The base sheet guide 210 has a height sufficiently larger than the thickness of the print target paper 20 and adjusts the base sheet 10 to a correct posture by following the base sheet 10. The manner in which the base sheet 10 is placed along the base sheet guide 210 will be described later.

The print target paper guide 220 has a thickness approximately the same as the thickness of the print target paper 20 and is provided adjacent to the base sheet guide 210. The base sheet 10 is placed along the base sheet guide 210. In this case, the base sheet 10 is provided at a position that covers a range corresponding to the periphery of at least one long side and one short side. A state in which the print target paper 20 is arranged in a matrix while being aligned with the print target paper guide 220 will be described later.
The width of the print target paper guide 220 is equal to or larger than the print margin of the ink jet printer. Since the print target paper 20 is arranged in a matrix along the target paper guide 220 as will be described later, the print target paper is placed between the outer peripheral edge of the print target paper 20 arranged in a matrix and the base sheet guide 210. A distance corresponding to the width of the guide 220 is generated.

  The substrate 230 is the entire substrate, and is provided with a base sheet guide 210 and a print target paper guide 220, and an inner area where the print target paper guide 220 is provided is a print target paper developing unit 231.

  4 to 8, a plurality of ready-made print target papers 20 (here, business card papers) are arranged using the inkjet printer printing jig 200 shown in FIG. 3 and pasted on the base sheet 10. It is a figure which shows the procedure which produces the printing assistance sheet | seat for printing.

First, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 5, the print target paper 20 is arranged in a matrix on the substrate 230 along the print target paper guide 220. The printing target paper 20 such as business card paper has a finely cut edge, and the printing target paper guide 220 has substantially the same height, but the edges of the printing target paper guide 220 and the printing target paper 20 are also linear. Therefore, the print target paper 20 can be easily arranged on the substrate 230 along the print target paper guide 220. Note that in order to arrange the print target papers 20 in a matrix, the edges of the print target papers 20 need to be aligned. However, as long as the edges of the print target papers 20 are cut cleanly, the edges of the print target papers 20 It is easy to get them together. The print target paper 20 can be easily and orderly arranged in a matrix on the print target paper developing unit 231.
Here, as shown in FIG. 5, a distance corresponding to the width of the print target paper guide 220 is generated between the outer peripheral edge of the print target paper 20 arranged in a matrix and the base sheet guide 210.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 7, the base sheet 10 is placed from above with the adhesive side down along the base sheet guide 210 and pressed from above. The base sheet 10 is directly placed on the printing target paper 20 developed in a matrix on the printing target paper developing unit 231 and pressed, and the printing target paper 20 is attached to the base sheet 10 due to adhesiveness. . Here, due to the presence of the print target paper guide 220, the print target paper 20 is not attached to the peripheral portion of the base sheet 10.
Note that the printing target paper guide 220 and the printing target paper 20 are devised so as to have substantially the same thickness, and both form a flat plane. Therefore, when the base sheet 10 is placed, the base sheet is not obstructed. 10 can be placed properly.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the base sheet 10 is taken out from the inkjet printer printing jig 200. When the base sheet 10 is taken out from the printing jig 200 for an ink jet printer and the surface having adhesiveness is turned up, the paper 20 to be printed is stuck in a matrix. That is, the printing target papers 20 arranged in a matrix move as if they were transferred from the inkjet printer printing jig 200 to the adhesive surface of the base sheet 10.

  In the configuration example of Example 2, as described in Example 1, the peripheral margin 11 of the base sheet 10 is not adhesive, and only the range 12 inside the peripheral margin 11 is adhesive. The structure to have is preferable. As shown in FIG. 6, the peripheral margin 11 of the base sheet 10 is located on the print target paper guide 220, and both are in contact with each other. As shown in FIG. 8, the base sheet 10 is taken out from the printing jig 200 for an inkjet printer. However, if the peripheral margin 11 of the base sheet 10 is sticky, when the base sheet 10 is taken out from the inkjet printer printing jig 200, the peripheral margin 11 of the base sheet 10 and the printing target are separated. If the paper guide 220 is stuck and has to be peeled off when the base sheet 10 is taken out, the peripheral margin 11 can be removed from the base sheet 10 as shown in FIG. Can be taken out smoothly from the inkjet printer printing jig 200.

  The manner in which printing is performed on the print target paper 20 using the inkjet printer printing support sheet 100 manufactured by the inkjet printer printing jig as shown in the second embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment. Moreover, after printing, each printing target paper 20 can be easily peeled off from the base sheet 10, and the printing target paper 20 on which necessary printing has been performed can be obtained.

  As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment in the printing support sheet for inkjet printers of the present invention and the printing jig for inkjet printers has been illustrated and described, various modifications can be made without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. Will be understood.

  The present invention can be applied to a printing support sheet for an ink jet printer in which a plurality of print target papers are collectively printed by an ink jet printer. The present invention also relates to a printing jig for an ink jet printer that manufactures a printing support sheet for an ink jet printer that allows a plurality of print target papers to be printed together by an ink jet printer.
