Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the subject printer which has a means for smoothening a surface of a recording paper through pressing of recording paper fed to a printing position and enables to perform a printing of an excellent quality. CONSTITUTION:Pressing rollers 9 and 10 for smoothening a recording paper 6 through pressing of the recording paper 6 fed to a printing section consisting of a platen 4, a thermal head 7, an ink ribbon 8 and the like are mounted to the recording paper feed side of the printing section. The pressing rollers 9 and 10 also have a function of applying a back tension to the recording paper 6, and an appropriate tension is applied to the recording paper 5 running between the rollers 9, 10 and the platen 4 and a pinch roller 5 to reliably feed the recording paper 6.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a printer with good print quality.

For example, when printing on recording paper with low smoothness using a semi-transfer printer, the ink heated and melted by the thermal head is normally transferred to the convex portions of the recording paper surface, but is not transferred to the concave portions ( , the print quality deteriorates considerably. Figure 1 shows the transfer state in a conventional printer. The recording paper 1tji! has a low smoothness and has uneven surfaces. The ribbon 6 is pressed.Thermal head 2Fi generates heat at a predetermined position, melts the ink 6-1 on the ink ribbon 3, and transfers it to the recording paper 1.However, due to the unevenness of the front side of the recording paper 1, the original a and d Phenomena occur in which the ink that should be transferred across the width is interrupted like melting, or the ink that should be transferred with a predetermined thickness over the width 1 or C is thin as shown in the figure.

この結果、印字一度の低下、文字の字欠け、ムラが発生

As a result, the quality of printing decreases, characters are missing, and unevenness occurs, resulting in an overall decrease in print quality.

Therefore, in the past, measures were taken to increase the amount of ink carried by the d's ink ribbon, increase the heating time of the thermal head, and increase the amount of ink to be transferred to the concave sK. . However, in this case, when the smoothness of the recording paper used is high, the amount of ink transferred increases, causing fogging and blurring of characters. Furthermore, if the heating time of the thermal head is increased, the heating cycle becomes longer (which becomes a disadvantage to high-speed printing).

There is also a method of performing heat fixing under one pressure after printing.
Even with this, the smoothness of the ink paper is high, and if the transfer is not sufficient, the transferred ink will be spread out and a single character capri or tsubushi will be produced.

The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and improves the smoothness of the recording paper by applying pressure to the recording paper before and after the printing section.
An object of the present invention is to provide a printer that can always produce good print quality regardless of the smoothness of recording paper used. The present invention will be described in detail below based on drawings of embodiments.

4 is an inkliden which heats the image in cooperation with the pinch O-95 on the platen. Reference numerals 9 and 10 denote pressure rollers that apply pressure to the recording paper 6 to smooth the recording paper, and constitute a recording paper smoothing device. Each roller 9, 1° is located at the front and rear of the printing section, that is, the platen 1. : Tosu-! It is arranged on the recording paper supply side with respect to the abutting part of the head 7, and always supplies smoothed recording paper to the printing part.
