A stencil is made by thermally forming perforations arranged in both a main scanning direction and a sub-scanning direction in a thermoplastic resin film of heat-sensitive stencil material by the use of a heat source which is heated through supply of energy. Supply of energy to the heat source is cut when a time interval not shorter than 50% and not longer than 100% of an estimated perforating time lapses from the time at which supply of energy to the heat source is started. The estimated perforating time is a time interval expected to be necessary for a perforation to be produced by the heat of the heat source and to be enlarged to a desired size as a final size as measured from the time at which supply of energy to the heat source is started.

摘要:
A cyan thermal coloring layer, a magenta thermal coloring layer, and a yellow thermal coloring layer are successively formed on a base of a thermo-sensitive recording paper. A yellow thermal head, a magenta thermal head, and a cyan thermal head are disposed along a conveyance path. While the thermo-sensitive recording paper is being conveyed in the sub scanning direction along the conveyance path, three colors images are sequentially recorded by the three thermal heads. When the length of heat elements of the respective thermal heads are Ly, Lm and Lc in a sub scanning direction, it follows that Ly

A thick film thermal head includes a plurality of first and second electrodes which extend in a sub-scanning direction and are alternately arranged in a main scanning direction intersecting the sub-scanning direction at predetermined spaces. A resistance heater continuously extends in the main scanning direction across the first and second electrodes. Parts of the resistance heater between adjacent first and second electrodes form a plurality of resistance heater elements which are arranged in the main scanning direction and generate heat when energized through the first and second electrodes. The spaces between the first and second electrodes are smaller than the widths of the first and second electrodes in the main scanning direction.

摘要:
A thermal head, in which the catching of a foreign object on a partial glaze is prevented and the head pressure of the partial glaze is not reduced, is provided such that the image quality is improved by preventing the occurrences of line voids, irregularities, and roughness. In a thermal head which includes a partial glaze, which protrudes and whose cross-sectional configuration is substantially arc-shaped, on a recording material opposing surface, the radius of curvature of a heater portion on the partial glaze is less than 50 mm and the height of the partial glaze from the recording material opposing surface is 40 .mu.m or less. Further, the height of the partial glaze from the recording material opposing surface at the conveying direction upstream side of the recording material may be set lower than the height of the partial glaze from the recording material opposing surface at the conveying direction downstream side of the recording material with the heater portion therebetween.
