摘要:
A developing portion forms a toner image, which corresponds to a recording image, with a toner which has been electrically charged to a predetermined electrical potential. A transfer portion, to which an electric potential, different from the electric potential of the toner image, is applied, transfers the toner image onto a recording medium. A first transfer-electric-potential applying portion applies a transfer electric potential to the transfer portion. A carrying portion carries the recording medium so as to cause the recording medium to pass by the transfer portion. A second transfer-electric-potential applying portion sets the recording medium and the carrying portion to cause the recording medium and the carrying portion to have a predetermined electric potential corresponding to the transfer electric potential of the transfer portion.
摘要:
A toner developing quantity detection unit operates a plurality of electrostatic recording units to transfer Y, M, C and K color component toner marks onto a belt. A toner developing quantity correction unit detects toner developing quantities per unit area of color toners on the basis of detection signals of the color component toner marks on the belt optically detected by a sensor. The toner developing quantity correction unit corrects the toner developing quantities so as to allow the toner consuming quantities of the plurality of electrostatic recording units to be substantially the same level, on the basis of the thus detected toner developing quantities.
摘要:
A toner is disclosed wherein an aminium salt infrared light absorber and a positive charge control agent are used in combination while preventing a mutual reaction therebetween. In this toner, the physical contact of the aminium salt compound with the positive charge control agent is avoided (e.g., by separately adding them to respective two separated phases of a binder resin), or alternatively use is made of such a combination of compounds as will not cause a mutual reaction (e.g., a common anion is used).

A process for producing a wherein an aminium salt infrared light absorber and a positive charge control agent are used in combination while preventing a mutual reaction therebetween. In this toner, the physical contact of the aminium salt compound with the positive charge control agent is avoided (e.g., by separately adding them to respective two separated phases of a binder resin), or alternatively use is made of such a combination of confounds as will not cause a mutual reaction (e.g., a common anion is used).
摘要:
A printer has a printer body, a carriage for undergoing scanning movement over a print paper in a scanning direction, and a cassette removably connected to the printer body for storing print paper and having a code element indicative of photosensitive characteristics of the print paper. The print paper contains photosensitive microcapsules encapsulating a color developing material and a photo-curing material and has an image receiving layer for developing color by a reaction of the color developing material with the image receiving layer. The carriage has a light emitting element for emitting light of a preselected wavelength to which the photosensitive microcapsules are exposed to thereby form a latent image on the print paper. A photosensitive characteristics identifying mechanism is disposed on the carriage for reading the code element of the cassette to identify the photosensitive characteristics of the print paper. A light emission controller controls the intensity or the time period of emission of the light emitted by the light emitting element in accordance with the photosensitive characteristics of the print paper identified by the photosensitive characteristics identifying mechanism. A pressurizing mechanism applies mechanical pressure to the print paper after a latent image has been formed thereon to collapse the photosensitive microcapsules which were not exposed to the light emitted by the light emitting element and thereby develop the latent image by reaction of the color developing material in the photosensitive microcapsules with the image receiving layer.
摘要:
A printing apparatus of a photosensitive microcapsule type comprises a chassis, a cassette for storing printing paper containing photosensitive microcapsules, a printing paper feeding device for intermittently feeding the printing paper in a feeding direction, and a printing paper pickup device for feeding the printing paper from the cassette to a preselected location from which the printing paper is intermittently fed by the printing paper feeding device. A scan shaft is mounted on the chassis for undergoing rotation about a rotational axis extending generally perpendicular to the feeding direction of the printing paper. A first spiral groove is formed in the scan shaft along a clockwise direction and has opposite ends. A second spiral groove is formed in the scan shaft along a counterclockwise direction and has opposite ends each connected to a respective end of the first spiral groove so that the first and second spiral grooves form a loop. A carriage is slidably mounted on the scan shaft for undergoing reciprocal movement along the scan shaft during rotation of the scan shaft. Light emitting diodes are disposed on the carriage for selectively irradiating onto the printing paper light corresponding to image data when the carriage is reciprocated along the scan shaft. A pressurizing device applies pressure to the printing paper to which light is irradiated by the light emitting diodes to collapse the photosensitive microcapsules contained in the printing paper to form an image on the printing paper.
