Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce a large volume of uniform electro thermal transfer recording media in a short period of time under controlled conditions by slitting a base film after one side of the base film has been coated thoroughly or relatively widely in stripes with a resistance layer. CONSTITUTION:A PET film is slitted after a resistance layer has been applied to one side thereof. Subsequently, ink layers of yellow, magenta and cyanogen are unevenly hot-melt applied to the side of the base film that is not provided with the resistance layer in the longitudinal direction thereof. Thus, a large volume of uniform ink sheets can thus be produced in a short period of time under controlled conditions by slitting the base film that has been relatively widely coated with an electrically conductive resistance layer.

The energized thermal transfer recording method is different from the conventional thermal transfer method in which a resistor installed on the head substrate generates heat to transfer the ink coated on the ink film to the recording paper. This is a recording method in which the ink film itself generates heat by applying electricity to transfer the ink. Its features include good thermal efficiency, low recording energy, and high recording speed because the ink film itself generates heat. Since the head does not generate heat, there is little thermal stress (high reliability. There is little heat accumulation in the head, and there is little thermal history. Heat dissipation measures are simple, so it is easy to downsize and reduce costs.
