RECORDER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3251065
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To prevent disorder of an image due to static electricity by adding an antistatic agent to a contact material being a solid to be liquefied by heating or the like and/or a recording agent and/or a cleaning liquid.
CONSTITUTION: A latent image is formed by a method wherein a backward contact angle is formed in a part heated selectively by a thermal head 1 in the condition that a latent image forming liquid is brought into contact with the surface of a recording body 2 by a latent image forming liquid holding member 3. This latent image is developed by ink of a developing sponge 4, so that a visible image be formed on the surface of the recording body 2, and this visible image is transferred to be recorded onto recording paper 5. In order to solve a problem of charging of the recording body 2 on the occasion, an antistatic agent for holding back charging of the recording body 2 is added to a liquid coming into contact with the recording body 2, i.e., the latent image forming liquid and/or the ink and/or a cleaning liquid. Thereby the charging of the recording body 2 can be held back. As for a concrete example of the antistatic agent, a surfactant, higher alcohol, etc., can be mentioned.
