The scribe line is constituted by a large number of depressed portions of desired depth formed by radiation of a laser beam in a surface of the raw substrate corresponding to a boundary line between adjacent insulating substrates so that the depressed portions are arranged in a line at fixed pitch intervals along the boundary line, and a portion where the pitch intervals of the depressed portions are reduced is provided over a desired length on the way of the scribe line, or a portion where the depth of the depressed portions is increased is provided over a desired length on the way of each of the scribe lines.

A longitudinal wave propagates in ink toward an opening. The surface of the ink is positioned at the opening and is curved. A surface wave is excited from an end of the liquid surface owing to a restoring force caused by surface tension of the ink. Assuming that the wavelength of the surface wave is &lgr;c, the diameter of the opening is established to be not smaller than 2m &lgr;c. The surface wave is generated from an edge of the opening and rapidly decreases due to the longitudinal wave. The surface waves caused by the longitudinal wave do not interfere with each other at the opening provided that certain conditions are established. Therefore, no complicated interference wave occurs on the surface of the ink, and the surface of the ink vibrates with a large amplitude in the vicinity of the edge of the opening.

An ink jet printer serves to solve a problem that ink is not normally discharged when bubbles are present in ink contained in a ink chamber of a print head. The ink jet printer performs normal discharge of ink by detecting bubbles contained in ink and carrying out an optimum head recovery operation, so that stable and high-quality printed matter can be obtained. According to a bubble detecting circuit and method employed in this ink jet printer, the impedance of the piezoelectric element of the head is first measured at given frequencies. Then, impedance versus frequency characteristics are obtained. Subsequently, it is determined, based on the impedance versus frequency characteristics, whether or not a bubble adheres to the piezoelectric element.

A sheet carrying apparatus reduces skew of a sheet during carriage, and realizes high-quality print. A position detecting sensor detects a position in a direction perpendicular to a sheet carrying direction of the sheet carried by a sheet carrying roller. A skew angle of the sheet is calculated depending upon a deviation of the detected position from a predetermined reference position. Load rollers are on the right and left sides with respect to a sheet center line in the sheet carrying direction, and are respectively opposed to following rollers through the sheet so as to bring the sheet into pressure contact. A torque limiter to apply a braking force to the load roller, and the load roller are coupled or released by electromagnetic clutches. Thereby, the carrying forces can independently be controlled on the right and left sides of the sheet depending upon the skew angle.

A photosensitive material comprises a photosensitive and heat-developable element and a photopolymerizable element which are contained in the same layer. The photopolymerizable element comprises at least a polymerizable polymer precursor having a melting point of 35.degree. C. or more. The photosensitive material is exposed to light with at least one wavelength within the wavelength region of from 400 nm to 900 nm, heated at 60.degree. to 180.degree. C., and exposed to light with at least one wavelength within the wavelength region of from 250 to 700 nm, and thus an unexposed area in the photosensitive layer which is an area not exposed to light with at least one wavelength within the wavelength region of from 400 nm to 900 nm is polymerized.

A thermal printer has a tension roller which rotates at a peripheral speed higher than that of a platen roller. A recording paper after a thermal transfer of an ink thereto is tensed by the tension roller so that separation of the transferred ink from an ink sheet is conducted at a constant separation angle, thus ensuring high uniformity of the printing quality.
