摘要:
A stencil is made by thermally perforating a stencil material by the use of a thick film thermal head. The thermal head includes an electrical insulating substrate and a glaze layer superposed on a heat radiating plate in this order, a resistance heater formed on the glaze layer to continuously extend in a main scanning direction, a plurality of electrodes of at least two lines which extend in a direction intersecting the main scanning direction in contact with the resistance heater and are alternately arranged in the main scanning direction, and a protective layer which covers exposed part of the resistance heater and the electrodes. The resistance heater is not smaller than 1µm and not larger than 10µm in thickness, and the space between each pair of adjacent electrodes in the main scanning direction is not smaller than 20% and not larger than 60% of the center distance between the adjacent electrodes. The stencil material is conveyed by a conveyor in a sub-scanning direction relative to the thermal head with the stencil material kept in contact with the thermal head. The thermal head and the conveyor are controlled so that the length in the sub-scanning direction of the resistance heater at the portion between each pair of adjacent electrodes is not smaller than 100% and not larger than 250% of the sub-scanning pitch.

Provided is a stencil sheet excellent in uniformity in solid print portion, improved in uneven density and setoff, and further excellent in resolution of small letters. A method for perforation of the stencil sheet is also provided. The stencil sheet comprises a laminate of a thermoplastic resin film and a porous substrate mainly composed of thermoplastic fibers, which has an average airflow resistance in a range of 0.05-0.15 Kpa·s/m as measured at a perforated part of 20-50 % in opening ratio The stencil sheet preferably has a wet tensile strength of 200 gf/cm or more. The thermoplastic resin film is preferably a polyester resin film, and the thermoplastic fibers are preferably made of a polyester resin. When perforation is made in a stencil sheet to form many fine openings corresponding to an image to be printed, good image is obtained by carrying out the perforation to give an average airflow resistance of 0.05-0.15 Kpa·s/m at the perforated part of the stencil sheet.

This invention provides a form plate making apparatus which can reduce the time necessary for a plate making operation, can make the plate making operation easy, and can accomplish a high precision plate making operation. A planar plate making table is disposed on an upper part of a casing, and head carriage mechanism for moving a thermal head is disposed on this plate making table. A screen frame to which a screen equipped with a heat-sensitive material is fitted is placed on the plate making table, and a platen is disposed inside this screen frame so that the screen equipped with the heat-sensitive material is brought into close contact with the platen. The thermal head is moved on the plate making table by the head carriage mechanism, and power feed control is applied to heating elements of the head in accordance with character and image data so as to bore predetermined holes in the heat-sensitive material of the screen. Because the plate is produced while the screen is fitted to the screen frame as described above, a plate having the holes correctly bored at predetermined positions to the screen frame can be obtained.

In the stencil-producing apparatus of the present invention, both the stencil production and the thermal printing are possible. In the apparatus, a thermal head performs stencil production by forming dot-shaped perforations in a heat-sensitive stencil medium and prints images by forming dot-shaped images in a heat-sensitive imaging medium by heating a plurality of thermal elements aligned in a main scanning direction. During thermal printing, the pitch of the relative movement between the heat-sensitive medium and the thermal element in the auxiliary direction is set to a minimal. During stencil production, heat drive of the thermal elements is selectively precluded in the main scanning direction. Heat drive of the thermal elements is selectively precluded also in the auxiliary scanning direction. Or otherwise, the pitch of the relative movement between the thermal head and the heat-sensitive stencil medium in the auxiliary scanning direction is increased to a pitch longer than the pitch during printing. This provides spaces between adjacent dots of the resultant stencil. Stencil printing with no blurring and no set off can be achieved with such a stencil. Also, good thermal printing on heat-sensitive imaging medium with no spaces between adjacent dots during printing can be achieved.
摘要:
A thermal stenciling device in which the heat generating elements are sized to create optimal perforations based upon the type of stencil paper such that the ink does not bleed, produce back images or incompletely dry upon use and a method for determining the size of the heat generating elements. The size is based on desired dot pitches in both the main and sub-scanning directions which are a function of the stencil paper and ink.

In the thermal stencil master plate and the method for processing the stencil master plate according to the present invention, since swelled and solidified unprocessed regions formed by film lumps or a part thereof produced from the melted film are provided continuously, the merging and excessive expansion of the perforations can be avoided so that clear printed picture images may be formed even in the regions of solid picture images. Further, the ink passing through each of the perforated dots is reliably separated from the ink passing through adjacent perforation dots before it is deposited onto the printing paper so that excessive deposition of the ink is avoided and the time required for drying the printing ink is reduced so that offsetting may be avoided.
摘要:
A stamp device capable of controlling numbers of perforations formed by a thermal head (7). A perforated image is formed by the thermal head in a heat sensitive stencil sheet (1). An ink in an ink pad (32) passes through the perforated image for providing an inked image on a print sheet (33). If perforations are densely formed, excessive ink may pass through the perforations. Therefore, the numbers of the perforations are controlled or reduced at a thick character portion. A control unit is provided for changing ON dot area to the OFF dot area of the thermal head if the ON dot area are densely provided.
