Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the titled printer which enables the monocolor and multicolor printing quickly and economically by having a multicolor thermal head for printing through a multicolor ink film and a monochromatic thermal head for printing through a monochromatic ink film. CONSTITUTION:Black printing is done with a black-specialized thermal head 6 through a black ink film 7. Printing in yellow, cyan and magnetic is done with a multicolor thermal head 1 through a desired color section of a multicolor ink film 2. This eliminates the need for triple printing on black printing.

Then, reverse the paper 3 by one page, and then use the cyan part of the color film 2 to print cyan over the part of the page that has already been printed in yellow that you want to print in black. do. Then, reverse the paper 3 by one page again, and use the magenta part of the color film 2 to print magenta over the part of the page that has already been printed in yellow and cyan that you want to print in black. . By overprinting f41) yellow, cyan, and magenta on this operation, black is printed on the desired black printing area,
In addition, yellow printing is performed in areas where yellow printing is desired. However, with such conventional technology, the black printing part requires printing three times, which increases the printing time and triples the amount of printing work.Also, three pages are required for each of the three color ink films. Therefore, it becomes a waste. Also, for example, if a black part is provided in the color ink film 2 and four colors are used, black printing is often used, but in the case of only this black printing, the remaining three color parts of the color ink film 2 are not used. , which has the disadvantage of being wasted.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a printer that can quickly and economically perform single-color printing and multi-color printing by eliminating the drawbacks of the conventional techniques.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a printer according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 to 5 are the same parts as those in FIG. 1, 6 is a black thermal head, and 7 is a black ink film. With the above configuration, when printing black, the black ink film 7 is printed using the thermal head 6 exclusively for black.
When printing in yellow, cyan, and magenta, the multicolor thermal head 1 prints via the desired color portion of the multicolor ink film 2. Therefore, according to the printer of the present invention, in the case of black printing as in the past, there is no need for three-fold printing, and the ink film can be used without wasting it, making it possible to perform monochrome and multicolor printing quickly and economically. becomes.
