Claims

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] (1) In an ink ribbon for sublimation transfer in which sublimation transfer dye layer regions of each color of yellow, magenta, and cyan are formed on a film, the dye layer regions of the three colors are located downstream of the dye layer regions of the three colors in the ribbon feeding direction. An ink ribbon for sublimation transfer characterized by having an area on the side where no dye layer is formed. (2) A thermal method for sublimation transfer of dye to an ink ribbon, which has yellow, magenta, and cyan dye layer areas for sublimation transfer on the film and an area where no dye layer is formed on the downstream side in the film feeding direction. After printing is performed using the thermal head by arbitrarily selecting the dye layer area of the three colors, the thermal head is heated to a preset temperature, and the area where the dye layer is not formed is heated. A sublimation transfer printer comprising: a heat treatment means for positioning the thermal head to perform the same printing again and fixing the dye. (3) The heat treatment means includes a detection means for detecting the presence or absence of an area on the ink ribbon where the sublimation transfer dye layer is formed and where the sublimation transfer dye layer is not formed; 3. The sublimation transfer printer according to claim 2, further comprising heating control means for heating the thermal head to a preset temperature when an area where no layer is formed is detected. (4) The sublimation transfer printer according to claim 2, wherein the heat treatment means includes a memory for storing a signal for heating the thermal head to the preset temperature. (5) The preset temperature is the temperature at which the dye layer for sublimation transfer is printed immediately before printing in an area where the dye layer for sublimation transfer is not formed. Any 1 of 4 items
The sublimation transfer printer described in section. (6) The sublimation transfer printer according to any one of claims 2 to 4, wherein the preset temperature is the most stable fixing temperature of the dye for sublimation transfer.
