１が印刷される。 FIG. 1 shows the steps of the printing method. In FIG. 1a, 1 is a first mask, which is composed of a transparent sheet 2 and a light-shielding film 3 provided on this sheet 2. In FIG. Note that this first mask 1 uses, for example, a transparent plastic sheet as the transparent sheet 2,
The transparent plastic sheet 2 serves as the light-shielding film 3.
It can be made by forming an aluminum vapor deposition film on top.
This first mask 1 is connected to an electric signal source 4 and an electrode needle 5.
The holes 3a are made in the light-shielding film 3 by wiring them together as shown in the figure and by discharging or energizing them according to an electric signal. Next, as shown in FIG. 1b, the first mask 1 is stacked on the heat-fusible film 6 with the light-shielding film 3 side facing upward, and when a heat ray 8 is irradiated from above the first mask 1, the heat is removed. The meltable film 6 absorbs the heat rays 8 passing through the holes 3a at positions corresponding to the holes 3a of the light-shielding film 3, and that part is heated and melted, and the light-shielding film 3
A hole 6a corresponding to the hole 3a is formed. In this way, the second mask 7 is made. Here, the term "thermofusible" means that the material is destroyed by heat to create holes, and includes not only melting but also burning out. Next, as shown in FIG. 1c, when the second mask 7 is placed on the printing material 9 and the ink roller 10 is rolled onto the second mask 7, the ink of the ink roller 10 is poured into the holes 6a. The ink 1 is extruded through the ink 1 onto the printing substrate 9 as shown in FIG. 1d.
1 is printed.

できる。 In the printing method described above, the technology related to the step (FIG. 1a) of electrically making holes 3a in the light-shielding film 3 of the first mask 1 is a technology conventionally known as discharge recording paper. ~30 dots/mm
High-resolution perforation is possible, and the light-shielding film (often called the destruction layer in discharge recording paper) is usually made of a vapor-deposited aluminum film. In the step of making holes 6a in the heat-fusible film 6 as the second mask 2 (FIG. 1b), the heat-fusible film 6
It is better to absorb the heat rays 8 as much as possible, and it is preferable to mix black dye or pigment (eg, carbon) into plastic (eg, polyethylene) that melts with heat. In this way, the second mask 7 can be made with a reduced amount of heat rays 8. Furthermore, although the thermofusible film 6 as the second mask 7 has been depicted and explained as having a supporting force by itself, in order to perform more precise printing,
The thickness of the thermofusible film 6 is preferably as thin as possible.
Considering the amount of hot wire 8 required to make the hole 6a, it is always better to be thinner. FIG. 2 shows another thermofusible film 12 made from such a point of view.
3 is attached to the mesh 14,
In the step shown in FIG. 1b, this heat-fusible film 12 is irradiated with a heat ray 8 from the film 13 side to make holes, and then, in the step shown in FIG. 1c, ink is applied from the mesh 14 side with an ink roller 10. Print. Next, if the hot wire 8 is generated by flashing than if it is continuous, the hole 6a will be more precise. In FIG. 1b, the first mask 1 has the light-shielding film 3 side facing upward, but it goes without saying that the lower surface, that is, the light-shielding film 3 side, may be in close contact with the heat-fusible film 6. By doing so, it is possible to make a more precise hole 6a.

It is also possible to increase the print quality and improve the print finish. Of course, any color can be used. Further, by performing the steps shown in FIG. 1 a to d four times and using subtractive color mixing, full color is also possible.
