熱部７より熱的影響を受けないようになっている。Reference numeral 4 denotes a heat generating section provided on the upstream side of the recording medium 3, which is constructed by arranging a large number of heat generating elements 5 that can selectively generate heat in response to external image information signals in an array. . This heat generating section 4 lowers the viscosity of the ink inside the recording medium 1, and transfers the low viscosity ink to the porous thin film layer 1.
It is constructed so that it can be transmitted through by.b. 6 is a platen roller, which is in pressure contact with the recording medium l. A heating section 7 is composed of a nichrome wire heater, an infrared heater, a high frequency heater, or the like. Reference numeral 8 denotes a heat insulating member, which is made of glass wool, asbestos, foamed material, etc., so that the heating element 5 is not thermally affected by the heating section 7.

ンク像を形成する。First, an external signal is sent to the heat generating part 4 to selectively generate heat in the heat generating elements 5 arranged in an array in the heat generating part 4, and the porous thin film layer 1b of the recording medium 1 with which the heat generating part 4 is in contact By transmitting the heat to the porous layer 1a, the viscosity of the ink impregnated in this portion is reduced. On the other hand, the ink having a lower viscosity passes through the porous thin film layer and forms an ink image having a predetermined shape corresponding to the heat generating portion on the porous thin film layer lb.

に画像を形成する。Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the ink image formed on the porous thin film layer lb as described above is generated when the temperature of the recording body l is lower than that applied by the heating element by the heating section 7, and the ink in the first porous layer is heated. The ink image does not pass through the second porous thin film layer and is heated to a temperature at which the formed ink image can maintain a low viscosity while rotating and moving in the direction of the arrow to contact the recording medium 1 in the downstream direction. , and is transferred onto the recording medium 3 which is pressed by the platen roller 6 at opposing positions, thereby forming an image on the recording medium 3.

態で保つので記録媒体３への良好な転写が得られる。When recording according to the above-mentioned recording power 1, by applying heat in a pattern with the heating element 5 of the heating section 4,
The ink inside the recording medium 1 is made to have a low viscosity, and the ink is transmitted through the porous thin film 1i1b to form an ink image on the surface of the recording medium. However, if this ink image is cooled by outside air or the like while it is being transferred to the recording medium 3, the viscosity becomes high (the ink image will not be properly transferred onto the recording medium and a high quality image will not be obtained. Since the heating unit 7 heats the ink image while it is being transferred to the recording medium 3 and maintains the ink image in a low viscosity state, good transfer to the recording medium 3 can be achieved.

行なうことができる。(1) In the above-mentioned embodiments, the ink image is heated to maintain its low viscosity, but for example, by simultaneously heating the recording medium, the ink image can be transferred even more favorably to the recording medium.

ことができる。(2) In the above embodiment, the shape of the heating section is concave along the recording medium as shown in the figure, but it may be shaped like a cylindrical roller, for example, so that it comes into contact with the recording medium. In addition, the ink image can be transferred to the recording medium better.

It is also possible to omit it.

ト化等を行うことができる。In this embodiment, as described above, an ink image is formed on a recording medium by providing a heating section between the heating section that applies heat in a pattern to the recording medium and the means for transferring the ink image to the recording medium. The ink image can be maintained in a low viscosity state.As a result, the molten state can be maintained, allowing for good transfer of the ink image to the recording medium.In addition, since the ink image is less affected by temperature, it can be Stable, high-quality images can be obtained without differences in image quality due to seasonal differences.Furthermore, by heating the recording medium at the same time as the ink image formed on the recording medium, the amount of moisture contained in the recording medium can be reduced. ,
There is no difference in image quality due to humidity (stable high-quality images can be obtained.Moreover, the heat-melting ink impregnated into the first porous layer can be maintained at a constant temperature due to the influence of the heating section, so the heating element does not heat up. When this ink is applied, the ink can pass through the second porous thin film layer well.Also, since the low viscosity state of the heat-melting ink can be maintained by the heating section, the heating section can be moved away from the transfer position. Since the transfer can be performed well without the need to limit the distance within a certain distance or to limit the linear velocity of the recording medium to a certain speed or more, the degree of freedom in the device configuration is increased, and it is possible to make the device more compact.
