Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1985/000144
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Printer which prints, as a hard copy, various static images such as an image picked up by a video camera or a television picture image, and, more particularly, a printer which is arranged such that an ink ribbon including a subliming dye is laid over a sheet of a photographic paper, and a pattern of the subliming dye according to data on an image is transferred to the photographic paper by heating, thereby printing the image. The printer includes a platen (2) which holds the photographic paper (1); a ribbon (3) which has a predetermined subliming dye portion and a cover film (13) which are formed according to a predetermined arrangement; a multi-element heat-sensitive head (4) which is adapted to heat the subliming dye portion of the ribbon (3) pressed against the photographic paper (1) on the platen (2) according to image data, in order to transfer the subliming dye portion to the photographic paper (1), thereby effecting printing; and a heat-sensitive head (19) with a single heating portion which extends over the entire width thereof and thermocompression-bonds the cover film (13) to the photographic paper (1) when the photographic paper (1) and the cover film (13) are pressed against each other on the platen (2). Thus it is possible to easily and reliably lay the cover film (13) over the photographic paper (1), reduce the size of the apparatus as a whole, and simplify the construction thereof.
