Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Structure] Providing an ink ribbon for printing a screen with mixed characters and images with a simple and inexpensive structure. [Structure] Yellow, magenta, cyan, and black colors are applied on a base film in a frame-sequential manner, and the black portion is made into a predetermined character (such as a writing brush). [Effect] Therefore, printing can be performed without using an advanced control circuit.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a color ink film for performing color printing using three colors of yellow, magenta and cyan or four colors of yellow, magenta, cyan and black.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, in a color printer that performs color printing by a transfer method, an ink film in which four colors of ink of yellow, magenta, cyan, and black are sequentially coated on a base film is heated by a recording device such as a thermal head. Recording is performed by transferring an arbitrary image pattern onto recording paper. Sublimation transfer ink or melt transfer ink is mainly used as the ink at this time.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the conventional color printer using the ink film, all print images are determined by heat generation of the thermal head of the recording device, that is, the image is formed by the control signal sent to the thermal head. Therefore, as shown in No. 3, when editing and printing various image information on a computer, there is no problem, but the screen of TV, VTR is recorded, and it is arbitrarily displayed on the screen. When adding a pattern such as a character, a new image editing device such as a character generator is required, which increases the cost of the device, and the number of operations such as character input increases, which is a drawback that it cannot be realized easily. is there. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to easily realize an image such as a TV or VTR and information such as arbitrary characters without using an editing device or the like.

[0004]

Therefore, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is a color ink film in which inks of four colors of yellow, magenta, cyan, and black are sequentially coated on a base film, and The ink film is characterized in that a pattern shape such as a predetermined arbitrary character pattern is applied to a part thereof.

[0005]

[Action]

 According to this invention, the print pattern of characters and the like is transferred to the recording paper by transferring the character pattern previously formed on the ink film, and in addition, the image information of TV, VTR, etc. is optionally recorded on the recording paper. The character generation circuit and the character-one image data editing circuit can be eliminated.

[0006]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows a color ink film 1 in which three colors of yellow, magenta, cyan, and black B ink are applied face-sequentially on a base film. In the above ink film, when black characters are put on a color image, a predetermined character pattern is printed on the black film, and the entire character pattern 2 is transferred to a recording paper. As a result, the color image using Y, M, and C is used by the control signal of the thermal head, and the character pattern uses the pattern printed in advance on the ink film, and the character 3 is printed on the recording paper as shown in FIG. And a pattern in which the image data 4 are mixed are generated.

[0007]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, by printing a pattern of characters or the like on a part of the ink film in advance, it is possible to easily realize the printing of mixed characters and images without editing the image data of one character. effective.
