MULTICOLOR RECORDER

Japanese Patent JPH01171870

A

PURPOSE:To prevent color shift through the construction in which fluid ink imparted stickness by being selectively impressed energy corresponding to an image signal by means of an energy impressing means via an intermediate transfer medium at the same contact position is transferred to the intermediate transfer medium. CONSTITUTION:A recording medium support body 1 is caused to rotate in the direction P so as to transfer a recording medium 2. An intermediate recording medium 3 is caused to rotate in the direction Q which is opposite to the rotating direction of the recording medium support body 1 with its transfer surface being brought into contact with the recording medium 2 at a relative speed of zero. Similar independent ink units, for instance, A-D, transfer several kinds of fluid inks 4a-4d. These ink units are disposed at positions separated from each other at an angle of 90 deg. and are adapted to intermittently move in a predetermined direction P by 90 deg. at a time. In addition, the respective ink units are adapted to be brought into contact with the intermediate transfer medium 3 at the same position so as to transfer an ink image, and are then released therefrom. A light source 8 selectively impresses energy with respect to the ink 4a-4d via the intermediate transfer medium so as to form an image. The ink 4a-4d on the intermediate transfer medium 3 is accurately transferred to coinciding positions on the recording medium 2 in order, the color shift being thus prevented.
