摘要:
A decoloring apparatus for an image forming material comprising means for bringing a solvent into contact with an image forming material formed on a paper sheet and containing a color former, a developer and a decolorizer, and means for removing a residual solvent from the paper sheet.
摘要:
An erasable image forming material includes a color former, a developer, and a decolorizer and is erasable by contact with an erase solvent. Free energy &agr; required for the decolorizer and the developer to form a complex and free energy &bgr; required for the color former and the developer to form a complex have a relationship represented by &agr;≦&bgr;≦10 Kcal/mol.
摘要:
A decolorizable image forming material comprising a color former, a developer and a decolorizer, the decolorizer comprising a highly amorphous phase separation inhibitor and a slightly amorphous phase separation inhibitor. A cyclic sugar alcohol is used as the highly amorphous phase separation inhibitor, and a non-aromatic cyclic compound having five-membered or larger ring substituted by a hydroxyl group or a derivative of a cyclic sugar alcohol is used as the slightly amorphous phase separation inhibitor. The decolorizable image forming material can be decolored easily after image formation by a solvent and the decolored state of which can be maintained stably, thereby making it possible to reuse paper sheets.
摘要:
A method of decoloring an image formed on a paper sheet by using an image forming material containing a color former, a developer and a decolorizer, comprising the steps of bringing a solvent into contact with the image forming material for decoloring the image, and removing the residual solvent from the paper sheet.
摘要:
An image forming material formed on a paper sheet and containing a color former, a developer and a decolorizer, is decolored by heating of the image forming material, contacting the image forming material with a solvent optionally containing a decolorizer, and removing a residual solvent from the paper sheet.
摘要:
An erasable image forming material includes a color former, a developer, a binder resin, and a polymer decolorizer having an electron donating group capable of physically or chemically adsorbing the developer. This polymer decolorizer is, e.g., a polymer compound having a sugar skeleton, representatively starch. This image forming material can form sharp images and erase images by heat or a solvent to achieve a good erased state.
摘要:
A paper classification apparatus includes a heater for heating paper or a solvent supply unit for supplying a solvent to the paper, a detector, a computer, and a selector guide. The detector detects the reflection density of the paper after being heated or supplied with the solvent. The computer compares the detected reflecting density of the paper with a predetermined reference value stored in a memory. The selector guide classifies the paper on the basis of a comparison result of the reflection density. This apparatus can classify plain paper having an image formed with an ordinary image forming material, plain paper having an image formed with an erasable image forming material, and thermosensible paper.
摘要:
There is provided an emulsion coloring material which can be used on ordinary paper, has good color developability, and can be used for conventional erasable pens or printing inks of black or blue color, having sufficiently high densities. When use is made of an erasable emulsion coloring material capable of controlling color development and decolorization by the presence or absence of the interaction between a chromatic material and a color developer, the colored emulsion comprising a copolymer resin of at least one unit selected from styrene and styrene derivatives and at least one unit selected from an acrylic acid ester and a methacrylic acid ester having a substituent which comprises a carbon chain having 4 or more carbon atoms, coloring ability can be enhanced.
摘要:
According to one embodiment, an erasable inkjet ink includes a leuco dye, a non-water-soluble developer, and a solvent containing an alcohol and water. The amount of the water is 7 to 25% by mass of the solvent.
摘要:
According to one embodiment, an image erasing apparatus decolors an image printed on a paper sheet using an ink containing at least a leuco dye, a developer, water, a water-soluble organic solvent, and a surfactant. The image erasing apparatus includes a heating unit, a feedback mechanism, and a control unit. The heating unit heats the paper sheet. The feedback mechanism supplies the paper sheet heated by the heating unit to the heating unit again. The control unit causes the feedback mechanism to supply the paper sheet to the heating unit a plurality of times so as to heat the paper sheet a plurality of times.
