単価が高いという欠点がある。There is a desire to easily view data and images that have been copied from conventional technical manuscripts or converted into electronic files as visible images. Display devices such as CRT and liquid crystal are currently used for this purpose. However, these devices have the disadvantage that many pages cannot be viewed at the same time. On the other hand, printers output data and images on paper, so they can view many pages at the same time and are efficient, but they have the disadvantage of being expensive per page.

An image carrier 103 made of plastic, metal, paper with no liquid permeability, ceramic, or the like holds an image formed material 102 of hot-melt ink on this support. Image-forming materials currently used for OA include toner for electrophotography and wax ink for thermal transfer.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1(b), the image carrier is cooled and the support 101 of the image carrier is peeled off. At this time, the heat-fusible ink (image-formed material) 102 and the heat-fusible peeling body 104 move toward the ink peeling body as shown in the figure, and the image carrier is cleaned.

な関係は接着の分野ではよ（知られている。The hot-melt release material includes, for example, wax, resin, or a mixture thereof. Figure 1(a) and Figure 1(
In BL, a boundary line is drawn between the image-formed product and the heat-melt release body, but if the image-formed product (heat-melt ink)
If it is the same as the heat-fusible peelable body, or has a composition close to that, they will be compatible and there will be no boundary line. For example, many metals and resins can be used for the ink remover. Whether the hot melt ink and hot melt release material sticks to the ink release material or to the support depends on the adhesive strength of the contact surfaces of each material and the cohesive force of the hot melt ink and heat melt release material. Furthermore, it depends on whether the support is curved for peeling or the ink stripping body is curved for peeling. Assuming that the ink release body and the support are made of the same material and have the same surface condition, and the cohesive force of the hot melt ink and the hot melt release body is greater than the adhesive force (the heat melt ink and the support body are When the heat-fusible release material is solid), the heat-fusible ink and the heat-fusible release material are separated from the curved side and remain on the flat surface. Such a relationship is well known in the field of adhesion.
もし、熱溶融性インキ及び熱溶融性剥離体の凝集力が接
着力より小さい場合には、インキは二つに別れ、インキ
剥離体と支持体の両方に付着する。If the cohesive force of the hot-fusible ink and the hot-fusible release material is smaller than the adhesive force, the ink separates into two parts and adheres to both the ink release material and the support.

持体の定着が悪い）、不都合が生じる場合が多い。In the present invention, the purpose of peeling off after cooling is to increase the cohesive force of the hot-melt ink and the hot-melt peelable body to improve the cleaning effect. It is also possible to curve the ink release body and adjust the relationship between the adhesive forces of each part so that even if the ink release body is peeled off, the hot melt ink and the heat melt release body stick to the side of the ink release body. be. However, often
The adhesion of the hot-melt ink to the support becomes weak (poor fixation of the image carrier), which often causes problems.

An image carrier consisting of a support 101 and an image forming material (heat-melting ink) 102 moves in the direction of the arrow and comes into contact with the ink supply means 205 . The ink supply means 205 is composed of a heat roller 203 , a roller 204 , an ink peeling body 201 (in the illustrated case, an endless belt), and a heat-melting peeling body 104 .

I have not drawn it because it would only make the explanation too complicated. The heat-fusible release body 104 is melted by a heat roller 203 and placed on the image carrier. In this state, it moves in the direction of the arrow, and when it cools down, the support is peeled off by a peeling means 206 consisting of a peeling roller 202. At this time, the image-formed material adheres to and is carried toward the heat-fusible peelable body in a state of solidification or increased cohesive force.
このように、支持体上の第１の熱溶融性インキ（画像形

持体上に熱転写等で再び熱溶融性インキを載せて画像保
持体を作れば、一つの表示方法をえることができる。In this way, the first heat-fusible ink (image-formed material) on the support can be easily cleaned and removed, so heat-fusible ink is placed on the cleaned support again by thermal transfer, etc., and the image carrier is attached. If you create one, you can get one display method.

な印刷が出来ることである。A printing method is possible in which a cycle of placing hot-fusible ink on the support 101, transferring the hot-fusible ink to a printing medium, and cleaning the hot-fusible ink that has not been completely transferred is repeated. The advantage of this printing method is that, although it depends on the material of the support, ie Planchera I, it is possible to print beautifully on rough paper.

One can think of many examples, and the writing means can also include image signal generation, such as an image scanner. In this case, although it is called a printing device, it has the function of a copying machine.

Approximately 1 (heated and melted on a hot plate at 10°C, layered an ink release material (25μ PET sheet) on top, and rubbed it with a rubber roller from above to spread the wax mixture thinly and remove air bubbles. This state The support was cooled to room temperature (approximately 25°C) and the hot-fusible ink and hot-fusible release material in a solid state were peeled off as shown in Figure 1.The hot-fusible ink was also hot-fusible from the support. The deformed body was also removed.

たところ、画像保持体はクリーニングされた。Example 4 An image carrier was obtained by thermal transfer in the same manner as in Example 1 using 25 μm PET. The side of the image-formed product (heat-melting ink) of this image was placed on a paper (smoothness: 40 seconds) and passed between a heat roller (metal) at about 105°C and a pressure roller (silicone rubber). Although some bleeding occurred, clear printing was possible. At this time, the hot-melt ink remained on the image carrier without being completely transferred. A commercially available thermal transfer sheet (manufactured by Fuji Kagaku Paper Co., Ltd., ink melting point: approximately 70°C) was placed on top of this, heated, and squeezed with a roller to expel air bubbles. When this was cooled and the thermal transfer sheet was kept flat and the image carrier was curved and peeled off, the image carrier was cleaned.

も容易になる。Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention provides at least the following: (1) heating an image carrier holding an image made of heat-melting ink on a support with a heat-melting release member interposed therebetween; ,
The image is peeled off from the support by the step (2) of stacking the ink release body and cooling and peeling off the ink release body, so that the support can be easily cleaned. Also, using this,
It is also useful as a high-definition display device because it can erase what has been written on it. Furthermore, when used in a printing device, a dirty blanket after transfer can be easily cleaned, and printing on rough paper, which is difficult with normal thermal transfer, becomes easier.
