本発明はレーザーを用いた記録方法に関するも
ので、さらに詳しくは、レーザービームを画像信
号に応じて変調し、これにより記録部材にインク
を付着せしめて記録する方法に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a recording method using a laser, and more particularly to a method for recording by modulating a laser beam in accordance with an image signal and thereby depositing ink on a recording member.
従来より電子写真感光体をレーザービームによ

ないという欠点がある。 BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a method is known in which an electrophotographic photoreceptor is scanned with a laser beam to form an electrostatic image, which is developed, transferred to transfer paper, and then fixed to obtain a visible image. However, this method has the disadvantage that the apparatus is complicated and large, and that the recorded image cannot be seen unless a development step, a transfer step, and a fixing step are performed after laser recording.
又、感熱発色材料等を塗付した紙にレーザーで
記録する方法も知られているが、これは記録紙と

音を発生するという欠点がある。 A method of recording with a laser on paper coated with a heat-sensitive coloring material is also known, but this method has the disadvantage that special paper must be used as the recording paper. Also, impact printers, which record by placing an ink ribbon over a recording paper and striking the ribbon, have the disadvantage of generating high noise.
本発明は従来の方法のこれらの欠点を解消する
新規な記録方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a new recording method that overcomes these drawbacks of conventional methods.
本発明は、インクに対して親和性のある物質よ

ある。 In the present invention, recording ink is impregnated into a film made of a substance that has an affinity for ink, and a porous film made of a substance that has no affinity for ink is sandwiched between this film and recording paper, and the film is tightly attached to the recording paper. In this method, a laser beam modulated by an image signal is irradiated onto the film surface containing ink to record the image.
第２図に本発明を応用した装置の一例を示す。

The ink (not shown) used in this device is a water-based ink, and the first film is a porous film (trade name: Fluoropore, manufactured by Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.).
レーザー５はHe−Neレーザーでありレーザー

イルム１上に結像される。 The laser 5 is a He--Ne laser, and the laser beam 4 is guided to an AO modulator 7 via a mirror 6 and modulated by an image signal. The laser beam 4 modulated by the image signal is deflected by a rotating polygonal mirror 8 and focused onto the first film 1 by an Fθ lens 9.
第１図に記録部の更に詳細な構成を示す。 FIG. 1 shows a more detailed configuration of the recording section.

ム１及び多孔質フイルム２は、くりかえし使用す
る事ができる。 According to the present invention, since the first film 1 containing ink and the recording paper 3 are blocked by the porous second film 2 which has no affinity for ink, the recording paper 3 normally On the other hand, ink does not stick to it. However, when the laser beam 4 is irradiated, the strong energy is instantaneously absorbed by the ink, causing a portion of the ink to evaporate explosively, causing the ink to pass through the porous film 2 and recording. Reach paper 3. Since the ink that has entered the porous film 2 has no affinity with the film 2, it does not remain within the film 2, but is absorbed by the recording paper 3 and the film 1 containing the ink. or,
Ink is constantly supplied from an ink reservoir 10 shown in FIG. Therefore, the ink-containing film 1 and the porous film 2 can be used repeatedly.
記録紙の送り速度が速い場合には記録像が多孔
質フイルム２によつて摩擦され、像がみだされる
場合がある。この場合は、多孔質フイルム２を記
録紙３と等しい速度で移動させても良いが一般的
にはその様な事は必要なく、多孔質フイルム２と
記録紙３を押当てる圧力を弱くすれば良い。多孔
質フイルム２と記録紙３の間に微少な間隔ができ
たとしてもその間隔が小さければ問題は無い。 When the recording paper is fed at a high speed, the recorded image may be rubbed by the porous film 2 and the image may be smeared out. In this case, the porous film 2 may be moved at the same speed as the recording paper 3, but generally this is not necessary, and it is possible to move the porous film 2 at the same speed as the recording paper 3. good. Even if there is a minute gap between the porous film 2 and the recording paper 3, there is no problem as long as the gap is small.
多孔質フイルム２は薄く、かつ比較的穴が大き
いにもかかわらず、インクを通し難いものが良
く、インクが水性である場合には、フツ素樹脂系
のものが最適である。又インクは、水性のものが
安全性及び無公害性の点から望ましい。 Although the porous film 2 is thin and has relatively large pores, it is preferable that ink does not easily pass through it, and when the ink is water-based, a fluororesin-based film is most suitable. Furthermore, it is desirable that the ink be water-based in terms of safety and non-polluting properties.
記録紙３は、一般の普通紙を用いる事が可能で
あるが吸水性の高いものが、画質的にすぐれてい
る。 Although it is possible to use ordinary plain paper as the recording paper 3, paper with high water absorption is superior in terms of image quality.
本発明によれば、記録インクと記録紙がきわめ
て近接しているにもかかわらず、記録紙がインク
によりよごされる事がなく、美しい画像が得られ
る。 According to the present invention, even though the recording ink and the recording paper are very close to each other, the recording paper is not stained by the ink, and a beautiful image can be obtained.
以上述べたように本発明によればきわめて簡単
な装置で、レーザービームにより普通紙に記録す
る事ができ、従来のドツトインパクトプリンター
等のような高い騒音を発生する事もない。 As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to record on plain paper using a laser beam with an extremely simple device, and it does not generate high noise unlike conventional dot impact printers.
