Thereafter, the grip 13 of the stamp 12 is depressed toward a recording paper 35 in a direction H shown in Fig. 14, and the ink impregnated in the ink pad 30 is supplied to the stencil paper 24. As a result, a part of the ink at a thermally perforated portion only of the stencil paper 24 is allowed to reach the recording paper 35, thus forming an image on the recording paper 35 as shown in Fig. 15.
  • a printer/plate-making machine is known from document JP 62/264,995 and upon this disclosure the preamble of claim 1 is based.

  • a stamp device Preferably, in a stamp device according to the present invention, image data representing an image such as an arbitrary figure or string of characters are stored in storing means. Then, the thermal recording sheet is fed to the heating means by the recording sheet feeding means. A dot image corresponding to the stored image data is thermally formed on the thermal recording sheet by the heating means. After the image thus recorded on the thermal recording sheet has been confirmed, the thermal stencil paper is fed to the heating means by the stencil paper feeding means. The thermal stencil paper is thermally perforated by the heating means to form the dot image corresponding to the stored image data. Then, the thermal stencil paper thus perforated to have the image is attached to the stamp means. The stamp means is depressed on a recording paper to transfer the image from the thermal stencil paper to the recording paper.
  • a reversible thermal recording sheet (which will be hereinafter referred simply to as a "reversible sheet") 101 with reference to Figs. 3, 4 and 5.
  • a reversible sheet is known as a thermo-chromic in Japanese Patent Laid-open No. Sho 63-39377, for example.
  • Fig. 3 which is a sectional view of the reversible sheet 101, a recording layer 103 is formed on a transparent polyester film 102, and an overcoat layer 105 is formed on the recording layer 103, so as to protect the same.
  • the recording layer 103 is constituted of resin and organic low-molecular substance 104 dispersed in the resin.
  • Fig. 4 shows a transparent condition and a white opaque condition of the reversible sheet 101.
  • each particle of the organic low-molecular substance 104 in the reversible sheet 101 is formed as a relatively large monocrystal, so that light incident into the reversible sheet 101 passes an interface of the crystal few times and is transmitted through the recording layer 101 without scattering. Therefore, the recoding layer looks transparent as a whole.
  • each particle of the organic low-molecular substance 104 in the reversible sheet 101 is formed as a polycrystal, so that light incident into the reversible sheet 101 is refracted at the interface of the crystal many times and is scattered. Therefore, the recording layer, 101 looks white opaque as a whole.
  • Fig. 5 shows a heat reversible characteristic of the reversible sheet 101.
  • a transmittance of the reversible sheet 101 starts to increase at a temperature A and reaches a maximum at a temperature B. Thereafter, even when the reversible sheet 101 is cooled to the room temperature, the transparent condition is maintained. This is due to the fact that the organic low-molecular substance 104 changes from the white opaque condition of the polycrystal to a semi-molten condition during the increase from the temperature A to the temperature B, and the crystal grows to become the transparent condition of the monocrystal upon cooling from the temperature B to the room temperature.
  • the reversible sheet 101 in the transparent condition is heated again to a temperature D or higher, an intermediate condition between the maximum transparent condition and the maximum white opaque condition is obtained.
  • the initial white opaque condition is restored. This is due to the fact that the organic low-molecular substance 104 is molten at the temperature D or higher, and the polycrystal is deposited during cooling down to the room temperature.
  • the temperatures A, B and D are preferably set to about 50 degrees, about 56-68 degrees and about 72 degrees, respectively.
  • the reversible sheet 101 is heated by a thermal head 19 to record an image.
  • the transparent condition and the white opaque condition for every picture element of the image can be set by changing energy to be applied to the picture element which depends on a resolution of the thermal head 19.
  • a colored layer 106 is located under the transparent polyester film 102, so as to intensify a contrast of the image recorded on the reversible sheet 101. That is, the colored layer 106 functions to make a transparent portion of the reversible sheet 101 contrast with a white opaque portion of the reversible sheet 101.
  • the colored layer 106 is black and where the image is formed by the transparent portion with the white opaque portion left as the background, the image looks black on the white background as viewed from the upper side. Conversely, the image may be formed by the white opaque portion with the transparent portion left as the background.
  • the same effect can be obtained.

In this condition, when an erasing key is depressed (S12), the program proceeds through S2 and S12 to S13, in which the heating roller pair 90 starts to be rotated (S13), and the heating device 88 is heated (S14). The reversible sheet 101 is fed by the heating roller pair 90 heated to the temperature D or higher, and passes through the heating roller pair 90. As a result, the image thermally recorded on the reversible sheet 101 is thermally erased owing to the above-mentioned principle (S15).

  • the heat generating element array is constituted of 96 heat generating elements in the above preferred embodiment, the number of the heat generating elements may be arbitrarily changed.
  • the stencil paper 24 attached to the ink pad 30 of the stamp 12 is peeled off, and the stamp 12 is then set in the stamp holding section 17 of the body 82 of the stamp device 80. Thereafter, a new stamp original is created in the same manner as the above. Further, the stencil paper 24 after printing may be preserved for the purpose of reuse at any time. Accordingly, it is unnecessary to re-create a new original having the same stamp image as that of the stencil paper 24 previously created, thus improving the economy of the system.
  • keyboard 10 of the stamp device 80 is employed as the inputting means in the above preferred embodiment
  • data such as characters or marks may be input from a personal computer or the like to a receiving terminal (not shown) of the stamp device 80.
  • a stamp image may be formed in the same procedure as the above.
  • the thermal head 19 may be used to erase the image so that the energy to be applied to the thermal head 19 is suitably changed.
  • a conventional thermal recording sheet on which a non-erasable image is recorded by heat may be used instead of the reversible sheet.
  • Conventional thermal recording sheets are cheaper than stencil paper, and therefore the cost of using conventional thermal recording sheets in the device is much lower than using stencil paper.
  • an original for printing can be simply created by inputting data such as characters or figures intended to be printed and thermally perforating the thermal stencil paper.
  • the thermal recording on the reversible thermal recording sheet for confirmation of a stamp image and the thermal perforation through the thermal stencil paper for creation of a stamp original can be carried out by using the single thermal head.
  • the data previously recorded on the reversible thermal recording sheet can be erased by using the heating roller to carry out frequently repeated thermal recording and erasing of data on the recording sheet, thus decreasing a cost for the recording sheet, avoiding wasteful use of the thermal stencil paper, and decreasing cost for the stamp device.
