摘要:
A transfer recording medium comprising a transfer recording layer is provided. The transfer recording layer causes an irreversible change in transfer characteristic when provided with plural kinds of energies such as heat, light and pressure energies. Such plural energies are applied to the transfer recording layer with at least one energy applied imagewise to provided a transferable portion or latent image portion in the transfer recording layer. The transferable portion is then transferred to a medium such as plain paper. The provision of plural kinds of energies aids in realization of high quality multi-color transfer image in a compact apparatus through functional separation of image formation and transfer operations. Further, even a multi-color image can be obtained through a single transfer step.
摘要:
An image recording apparatus which includes a conveying device for conveying a transfer recording medium having a transfer recording layer whose transfer characteristics change when a first energy and a second energy different from the first energy are applied thereto. A recording section is disposed along a conveying route of the transfer recording medium conveyed by the conveying device and having a first energy applying device for applying the first energy to the transfer recording medium and a second energy applying device for applying the second energy thereto. A tension imparting device is used for imparting tension to the transfer recording medium in such a manner that the transfer recording medium is pressed against the first energy applying device. A transfer device for transferring an image formed on the transfer recording medium in the recording section to a recording medium and a conveying device for conveying the recording medium to a discharge section via the transfer device are also employed.

An image forming apparatus has both of the function of displaying a toner image recorded on an image bearing member and the function of transferring the recorded toner image to a transfer material and obtaining it as a print. Particularly, the apparatus makes reversal of the direction of movement of the image bearing member possible by developing the photosensitive member simultaneously with the application of light information in a process which does not require a charging step, and forms a toner image in the form of a positive image or a mirror image on the image bearing member. The positive image is used for display, and the mirror image is used for printing.

A heat-sensitive transfer medium comprising a support and at least two heat-transferable ink layers including a first and a second ink layer. The first ink layer has relative adhesions with the second ink layer and the support which are reverse at a higher temperature from those at a lower temperature. When the heat-sensitive transfer medium is superposed with paper, a heat energy is applied, and the transfer medium is separated from the paper; the second ink layer is selectively transferred or both the first and second ink layers are transferred to the paper depending on the length of time from the heat application until the separation of the transfer medium, whereby two color images can be formed by a single transfer medium.
摘要:
Image recording is indirectly achieved on a recording sheet via an intermediate transferring medium. First, the circumferential surface of a rotatable transferring medium having heat-transferable ink contained therein is fused or softened in response to image information by means of a recording electrode which is disposed at the position opposite to the transferring medium while the intermediate transferring medium is interposed therebetween. After completion of the first transferring step the ink image which has been transferred onto the intermediate transferring medium is transported to the position where a second transferring step is achieved while the ink image is kept in the fused or softened state. The second transferring step is achieved in such a manner that the ink image is transferred onto the recording sheet under the effect of pressure which is imparted by a pressure roller. The intermediate transferring medium may be made of electric conductive material. Intermediate treatment such as removal of the ink image, partial correction of the same, addition of another ink image can be carried out between the first transferring step and second transferring step.

摘要:
An image formation method and apparatus utilizing the technique of removing a conductive one-component developer which adheres to the non-image bearing portion of an image bearing member such as a photosensitive member and provides the background fog of the image on the image bearing member. More particularly, it discloses an image formation method and apparatus in which one-component developer conductive particles are brought into contact with the developer forming the fog to thereby induce in said particles a charge of the opposite polarity to the polarity of the charge of the developer and the particles and the developer are attracted to each other by the coulomb force thereof, whereafter with the conveyance force of said particles, said developer is removed to thereby form a fogless image.

摘要:
A liquid discharging apparatus in which a liquid is flowed in one direction in a circulation flow path at the time of non-discharge, and the flow path is refilled with liquid from both directions at the time of discharge. The liquid discharging apparatus includes a pressure adjustment unit that satisfies a condition “Pu>Pd, Pn>−Pd”, where Pu denotes a fluid pressure at a predetermined position on the upstream side of a discharge port, Pd denotes a fluid pressure at a predetermined position on the downstream side thereof, and Pn denotes a pressure equivalent to a capillary force of the discharge port for absorbing the liquid from the flow path into the discharge port immediately after the liquid has been discharged therefrom.
