Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obtain a dye image having high optical density and improved light resistance even when a print sheet having an ink accepting layer containing no interlayer compound is thermally transferred by using a thermal transfer containing hydrophobic cation dye and to further improve light resistance of the image. CONSTITUTION:A transfer medium comprises a support 1, and an ink accepting layer 2 containing hydroxyl group-containing polymer or vinyl chloride polymer. A hydrophobic cation dye image is formed by thermal transfer recording the transfer medium by using thermal transfer containing hydrophobic cation dye a thermal transferable dye. In order to improve light resistance of the image, the transfer medium is heat-treated after the image is formed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a latent image in printed matter by providing no constraint in an image forming area. SOLUTION: When an overcoat layer 13 is laminated on a thermally-transferred sheet 204 by a thermal transfer system, an applied energy from a thermosensitive head 207 wherein two or more thermal elements 207c were arranged linearly is established. The surface-gloss difference consisting of a relatively high-gloss area and a relatively low-gloss area is formed by the difference of the applied energy. A linear patterns 23 is made in any one of the areas, a line-patterns pattern 20 consisting of two or more linear patterns 23 is formed. When the line-patterns pattern 20 is formed, the line-patterns pattern 20b of a latent image part 21 is formed by shifting the phases of the line-patterns pattern 20b of the latent image part 21 and line-patterns pattern 20a of a background part 22.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a liquid filling an interior from leaking out even if a storage is damaged by abrasion due to vibrations and impact involving a drop, or damaged by hitting of something sharp. SOLUTION: The liquid storage has an impermeable base material 5 and a liquid absorbing layer 6 absorbing a liquid provided on the base material 5. Even if the storage is damaged, the liquid absorbing layer 6 prevents a leakage by absorbing the liquid leaking from the interior by forming the base material 4 as the inside and the liquid absorbing layer 6 as the outside.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recording liquid excellent in discharge stability and having high optical density, free from bleeding of boundaries and unevenness of mixed color and enabling high-quality recording even if multi-color recording of characters, images, etc., is carried out on a plain paper and provide a recording method using the recording liquid. SOLUTION: The recording liquid comprises water, a coloring material, an organic solvent and a surface active agent. The surface active agent includes at least one or more kinds of higher secondary alcohol alcoxylate adducts represented by chemical structural formula (1) (wherein R 1 and R 2 are each an alkyl group and the sum of carbon number of an alkyl group of R 1 and carbon number of alkyl group of R 2 is ≥7 and ≤29; Xs are two or more kinds of oxyalkylene groups each containing at least an oxyethylene group and a is an integer of ≥2).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medium to be recorded by ink jetting, which is excellent in various image storage properties (an image light resistance, blur resistance under high temperatures and high humidity, and resistance to indoor discoloration and fading, or the like), when the surface of the print papers is subjected to lamination. SOLUTION: The medium to be recorded by ink jetting has an ink receiving layer 2 on one surface of a substrate 1. As the substrate 1, a material having a capacity to absorb and keep a solvent component blended in an ink jet ink is used. A low oxygen permeability resin layer (preferably, an oxygen permeability rate of 10 cc/(m 2 ×D×atm) or lower at a temperature of 20°C and a relative humidity of 90%) is provided on the other surface of the substrate 1.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To print supplementary information, independently from essential image information requested to be printed, in an area partitioned from the print area of the essential image information without causing any damage on the print of the essential image information when the image information provided from a network, a recording medium or the like is to be printed by a printer. SOLUTION: The imaging method comprises a step for extracting the image information and the supplementary information from data including the image information requested to be printed and the supplementary information, a step for controlling the image information and the supplementary information such that the image information is printed in a specified image information print area of a print sheet and the supplementary information is printed in a specified supplementary information print area partitioned from the image information print area, and a step for printing the image information in the image information print area of the print sheet and printing the supplementary information in the supplementary information print area.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat transfer image receiving medium having a dye receiving layer using a plasticizer which shows a superb plasticizing efficiency and is capable of imparting satisfactory shelf stability to a photographic matter without the necessity to use a phthalate plasticizer and the like highly suspected to contain an endocrine disrupter, a mutagen, a carcinogen and the like. SOLUTION: In the heat transfer image receiving medium comprising a base material sheet and the dye receiving layer formed on the former, a citrate compound represented by formula (1) (wherein, R is a hydrogen atom or a substitutable acyle group and R , R and R are independently a substitutable alkyl group or cycloalkyl group) is used as a plasticizer of the dye receiving layer.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a collection process of source separated refuse of each spool and an ink ribbon of used ink ribbon unit by constituting a supply side spool and a winding side spool fastened with the ribbon of assembling and separating a plurality of members. SOLUTION: A supply side spool 2 fastens one end of a winding start of an ink ribbon 4 in a longitudinal direction, and previously winds an unused ribbon 4. The spool 2 feeds the ribbon 4 to a winding side spool 3. The spool 3 fastens a final end of a winding start part fastened to the spool 2, supplies a ribbon from the spool 2, and winds the ribbon 4 after using for printing. The spool 2 has a plurality of members, a first shaft member 5 and a second shaft member 6. The member 5 has a columnar shaft 7 and a first flange 8 formed near one end of the shaft 7.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To protect an image by preventing the ink comprising the image from eluting or translating even when the image comes into contact with volatile organic solvent and plasticizer. SOLUTION: In this thermal transfer type image protective sheet 10, an image protective layer 20 is formed by laminating a releasing layer 1, an organic solvent-resistant layer 2 and a bonding layer 3 to one another in the order named. This image protective layer is used for protecting an image, which is transferred to a photographic printing paper with a sublimation thermal transfer printer, on the photographic printing paper by transferring the image protective layer 20 with a thermal head to the image on the photographic printing paper in order to coveringly protect the image. The organic solvent-resistant layer 2 is mainly made of the crosslinked matter of hydrophilic butryral resin so as to prevent the ink in the image from eluting due to the contact of the image with the organic solvent or the like.
