In a jet recording method, a recording material is placed in a path defined by a nozzle leading to an ejection outlet, and then heated by actuating a heater disposed within the nozzle to generate a bubble within the recording material, thus ejecting a droplet of the recording material out of the ejection outlet under the action of the bubble to be attached onto recording paper. As improvement, the recording material is pre-heated by actuating the heater before the heating for generating the bubble, and the generated bubble is caused to communicate with ambience. As a result, the ejection of the recording material droplet is stabilized without causing splash or mist.

Three discharge port groups, each having a plurality of discharge ports, discharge inks of three primary colors to record swaths of the respective colors on a recording medium and repeat the discharging to complete a record. Joints of each of Y, M and C color swaths are spaced from joints of swaths of the other two colors by an equal distance, and the discharge port groups are offset from each other by 8n times of a discharge port pitch in a direction of feed of the recording medium. In a number of image buffers corresponding to the discharge ports, image data in one buffer is separated from image data in a different image buffer by an amount that is an integer multiply of one 8 bit byte.

A method of manufacturing an ink jet recording head, having the steps of forming an ink flow path pattern on a substrate with the use of a dissoluble resin, the substrate having ink ejection pressure generating elements thereon, forming on the ink flow path pattern a coating resin layer, which will serve as ink flow path walls, by dissolving in a solvent a coating resin containing an epoxy resin which is solid at ordinary temperatures, and then solvent-coating the solution on the ink flow path pattern, forming ink ejection outlets in the coating resin layer above the ink ejection pressure generating elements, and dissolving the ink flow path pattern.
摘要:
A recording medium has a recording layer comprising image-forming elements (A), (B) and (C) containing at least a compound having unsaturated double bond and a photopolymerization initiator. The photopolymerization initiator in the element (A) is a compound represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## (wherein Ar.sub.1 and Ar.sub.2 are ech aromatic ring or heterocyclis ring). The photopolymerization initiator in the element (B) has an absorption maximum in a wavelength region of 360 to 430 nm. The photopolymerization initiator in the element (C) has an absorption maximum in a wavelength region of 430 nm or longer. The recording medium is suitably used as a transfer recording medium in a recording apparatus which includes heating means and light irradiating means to provide the recording layer with heat energy and photoenergy to change the transfer characteristic of the recording layer. The light irradiating means includes a phosphor of thallium-activated calcium phosphate or thallium-activated calcium zinc phosphate, a phosphor having a fluorescent peak wavelength of 360 to 430 nm and a phosphor having a fluorescent peak wavelength of 430 nm or longer, and a light source for exciting the phosphors.
摘要:
A transfer recording medium comprises a support and a transfer recording layer formed thereon capable of charging its transferability when provided with light energy and heat energy. The transfer recording layer comprises at least a colorant and a functional component sensitive to the provision of light energy and heat energy. The functional component comprises at least a photo-initiator and a polymerizing component of a monomer, oligomer or prepolymer having an unsaturated double bond. The polymerizing component has a melting point of 40.degree.-150.degree. C. Because of the inclusion of the polymerizing component which is solid at room temperature, the transfer recording layer has an excellent storability as well as an increased sensitivity contrast to illumination between under heating and under no heating.
摘要:
A recording medium comprises a recording layer formed on a substrate. The recording layer comprises a solid solution of a guest compound in a matrix polymer. The guest compound, such as a para-di-substituted benzene derivative, has a substantial second order micro-nonlinear optical constant .beta. but shows substantially no nonlinear optical effect in its crystalline form. The matrix polymer is preferably a polyoxyalkylene. A part of the recording layer is caused to have a nonlinear optical effect when it is supplied with a combination of an external field such as an electric or magnetic field and heating followed by cooling for solidification, and is caused to lose its nonlinear optical effect when it is subjected to heating followed by cooling for solidification in the absence of such an external field.
