(産業上の利用分野)
本発明はカードの製造方法に関し、更に詳しくは個別情
報カードを大量且つ安価に製造する方法に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing cards, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing individual information cards in large quantities and at low cost.
(従来の技vR)
近年、種々の分野でカードが大量に利用されるようにな
っており、これらのカードの製造方法としては、カード
にインプットされる情報が多数枚共通である、すなわち
−数情報である場合には、各種印刷方式またはホットス
タンプ方式等によって大量且つ安価に提供されるもので
あるが、カードがカード所有者毎に個別情報を有する必
要がある時には、これらの個別情報はカード毎に人力す
る必要があり、大量生産ができないという問題がある。(Conventional Technique vR) In recent years, cards have been used in large quantities in various fields, and the manufacturing method for these cards requires that the information input to the cards is common to many cards, that is, -number In the case of information, it is provided in large quantities and at low cost using various printing methods or hot stamping methods, but when the card needs to have individual information for each cardholder, this individual information is provided on the card. There is a problem that mass production is not possible as it requires manual labor for each process.
このような問題を解決する方法としては、磁気テープ等
に多数の個別情報を入力し、コンピューターによりこの
個別情報を適切に組合せて、その場で必要な個別情報を
作成し、これを熱転写方式によりカード基材に熱転写す
る方式が提案されている。One way to solve this problem is to input a large amount of individual information onto a magnetic tape, etc., use a computer to combine the individual information appropriately, create the necessary individual information on the spot, and then print this information using a thermal transfer method. A method of thermal transfer to a card base material has been proposed.
(発明が解決しようとしている問題点)上記の方式では

るため、熱転写工程は極めて短時間であるものの、全体
としてはかなりの時間を要するという間通がある。(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the above method, each time an individual information card is created, information is output from the host computer, a thermal transfer sheet is created based on this output, and the thermal transfer sheet is thermally transferred to the card base material. A series of processes are required for each individual card, and it takes a considerable amount of time to create a thermal transfer sheet based on the output, so although the thermal transfer process is extremely short, it takes a considerable amount of time overall. I have a good knowledge of it.
更に上記の如きカード作成装置は著しく高価であるため
、発行枚数が極めて多数でない限り、カードの単価が著
しく高くなり、汎用性に欠けるという問題がある。Furthermore, since the above-mentioned card producing apparatus is extremely expensive, unless a very large number of cards are issued, the unit price of the card becomes extremely high and there is a problem in that it lacks versatility.
また、このようなカード作成装置では、個別情報を熱転
写するカード基材の領域は一定箇所に限定されるととも
に、熱転写する情報量が限定されるという問題がある。Further, in such a card production device, there is a problem that the area of the card base material to which individual information is thermally transferred is limited to a certain location, and the amount of information to be thermally transferred is limited.
更に、上記の如きカード作成機では1枚づつカートを取
扱うため、カードの表面に指紋やト脂が付着し易く、そ
のため熱転写が不均一となり不良品が発生し易いという
問題が生じている。Furthermore, since the above-mentioned card making machines handle carts one by one, fingerprints and grease are likely to adhere to the surface of the cards, resulting in non-uniform thermal transfer and a tendency to produce defective products.
従って個別情報を有する多数のカードを簡便な装置を用
いて高速で、しかも高品質且つ安価に提供する方法が要
望されている。Therefore, there is a need for a method of providing a large number of cards having individual information at high speed, with high quality, and at low cost using a simple device.
(問題点を解決するための手段)
本発明者は上述の如き従来技術の問題点を解決すべく鋭

情報をカード基材に熱転写することを特徴とする個別情
報カードの製造方法である。That is, the present invention is a method for manufacturing a card in which information such as characters and symbols is thermally transferred to a card base material, in which a thermal transfer sheet to which a large number of individual information is given in advance is prepared, and these individual information are thermally transferred to the card base material. This is a method of manufacturing an individual information card characterized by the following.
次に本発明を本発明の一実施態様を図解的に示す添附図

Since the individual information 2 can be heat-transferred continuously, the individual information card 100 can be printed without using an expensive card making machine.
The production speed can be significantly increased.

It takes a relatively long time to form the thermal transfer sheet 20 based on this, and as a result, it is extremely uneconomical because it is necessary to repeat the above operation several times to create several cards. In contrast, in the present invention, a large number of pieces of individual information 2 are formed in advance on the thermal transfer sheet base paper 1, and as a result, thermal transfer to the card base material 30 can be made continuous.

ターが好適である。The thermal transfer sheet base paper 1 used in the present invention is preferably in the form of a continuous sheet as shown in the first figure, but there are many individual circumstances.
A sheet-fed thermal transfer sheet base paper may be used as long as i2 can be formed at the same time. Further, such thermal transfer sheet base paper may be any conventionally known thermal transfer sheet base paper, but all of the individual information 2 to be added to the thermal transfer sheet base paper, such as characters, symbols, patterns, bar codes, facial photographs, etc. Because they are not the same, and at least one copy is different for each card, conventional gravure printing methods are inappropriate (with the exception of general common information), and individual information As a result, it is preferable to use various computer terminals, word processors, and various printers connected to other computers. Furthermore, since the information 2 to be thermally transferred onto the card base material 30 needs to be high-density characters and symbols, a printer that produces characters with thick ink, that is, an electrophotographic printer that uses wet or dry toner, is recommended. suitable.
