    摘要: A continuous tone thermal printing apparatus of the type having a printing station and a receiver drive station. The drive station repeatedly advances receiver back and forth through the printing station in conjunction with the advance of successive thermal transfer donor dye colors on a carrier web through the printing station to successively print the overlying different color image separations. The drive station preferably comprises a motor driven capstan roller mounted to bear against one surface of the receiver and a pinch roller mounted to bear and exert pressure against the other surface of the receiver and to press the receiver against the capstan roller and define a nip therebetween. The capstan roller has a high friction receiver engaging surface and is relatively hard and uncompressible, and the pinch roller has a low friction receiver contacting surface and is relatively soft and compressible, such that when the receiver is within the nip, it is driven in the advance direction by motor driven rotation of the high friction capstan surface, and the interfacial shear stress between each roller and the respective receiver surface in the nip area is minimized.

    摘要: A thermal printer is disclosed in which a receiver is driven back and forth relative to a printing head by a driving roller. The receiver is driven at a nip formed between the driving roller and a pinch roller. The pinch roller is adapted to contact only the receiver during the movement of the receiver. The receiver is thereby permitted to move at the surface speed of the driving roller with reduced shear forces being introduced by the pinch roller. Consequently, a pinch roller with a high length to diameter ratio is usable and images can be produced on wide receivers with narrow image-free borders. The images are produced with precise registration and image artifacts are reduced.

    摘要: A recording element printing and treating system and method are provided. The system includes a printhead for dispensing a liquid comprising a carrier onto a recording element. A carrier removal station positioned downstream from the printhead removes a predetermined percentage of carrier present in the recording element. A converting station positioned downstream from the carrier removal station increases a durability characteristic of the recording element. In one embodiment, printing, carrier removal, and converting are accomplished in a single unit. In an alternative embodiment, printing is accomplished in a stand alone unit while carrier removal and converting are accomplished in a second stand alone unit. In this alternative embodiment, transfer of the recording element can be accomplished automatically using a mechanical device or manually by a system user.

    摘要: A microfluidic printing apparatus comprising at least one ink reservoir; a structure defining a plurality of chambers arranged so that the chambers form an array with each chamber being arranged to form an ink pixel; a plurality of microchannels connecting the reservoir to a chamber; and a plurality of microfluidic pumps each being associated with a single microchannel for supplying ink from an ink reservoir through a microchannel for delivery to a particular chamber. The apparatus provides relative movement between the microchannels and the structure so that the arrays can be effective in two positions; a blocking position for preventing the flow of ink from the microchannel to the chamber, and a printing position for aligning the chambers with the microchannels for permitting the flow of ink from microchannels into associated chambers to regulate the ink flow into the chambers. The apparatus further controls the microfluidic pumps and causes arrays to be in printing position when the microfluidic pumps supply ink through the microchannels to the chambers so that the correct amount of ink is delivered into each chamber.
