    摘要: A printer system comprises a thermal printer, an ink transfer unit and a thermal printing unit. The ink transfer unit and the thermal printing unit can be selectively mounted in the thermal printer. The ink transfer unit has an ink reservoir in which liquid ink is stored. The thermal printing unit has an ink ribbon. When neither the ink transfer unit nor the thermal printing unit is mounted on the thermal printer, an image can be formed on a thermal recording sheet only by the thermal printer. When the ink transfer unit is mounted on the thermal printer, ink stored in the ink reservoir is transferred onto a recording sheet to form an image thereon. When the thermal printing unit is mounted on the thermal printer, ink contained in the ink ribbon is transferred onto the recording sheet.

    摘要: In an image-forming system, an image-forming substrate is used that includes a paper sheet, and a microcapsule layer, coated over the paper sheet, which contains at least one type of microcapsule filled with a dye. Each microcapsule exhibits a characteristic such that, when a microcapsule is compacted under a given pressure at a given temperature, the dye seeps from the compacted microcapsule. A pressure/temperature applicator includes a roller platen, a thermal head having at least one arcuate bimetal element associated with the platen such that the substrate can be interposed between the platen and the thermal head, and an electrical energization system that electrically heats the arcuate bimetal element in accordance with image-information data. A degree of protrusion of the arcuate bimetal element varies in accordance with the electrical heating of the arcuate bimetal element such that a squashed pressure, to be exerted on the platen by the arcuate bimetal element, substantially equals the pressure exerted by the arcuate bimetal element when heated to the given temperature.

    摘要: An ink transfer type printer employs an ink holding member constituted by a porous body which contains ink therein and a film member made of a shape-memory resin which covers the porous body. The film member is provided with a plurality of through-holes. A film deforming member compresses the film member to collapse the through-holes and cools down the film member to the temperature lower than a glass transition temperature. A first heating member heats the selected parts of the deformed film member to the temperature higher than the glass transition temperature so as to restore the shape of the respective through-holes of the selected parts, and ink is transferred onto the recording sheet via the through-holes of the selected parts. Thereafter, a second heating member heats the overall parts of the deformed film member to the temperature higher than the glass transition temperature so as to totally restore the shape of the film member.

    摘要: A thermal printer has a thermal line printhead, which contacts a recording sheet and creates images on the recording sheet. A platen roller is positioned in a fixed location and bears against the thermal line printhead. When a covering member is closed, the platen roller feeds the recording sheet against the thermal line printhead. The platen roller has a roller unit of rubber composition, the surface of which is coated with an adsorption preventing powder agent to prevent it from adhering to the thermal line printhead.
