Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to indirect transfer to a single piece of paper for thermal transfer printing on a card-type single piece of paper such as a quality label, a price tag, a tag, and the like. The present invention relates to a thermal transfer printing method. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a printing ribbon, which runs parallel to the printing surface of a single sheet of paper taken out and conveyed one by one, is pressed directly to a printing object by a printing head to a specified size. 2. Description of the Related Art A direct thermal transfer printing method of applying heat to thermally print a print content has been widely practiced. On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Nos. Hei 1-240504 and Hei 2-71808 disclose a first film coated with carbon and a second film not coated integrally with each other.
First, a printing ribbon having a layer structure is prepared. First, the printed content is heat-transfer-printed from the side of the first film coated with carbon to the side of the second film by the heat transfer printing head, and then the second film is pulled from the first film. There has been proposed an indirect thermal transfer printing method in which the second film is peeled off and printed on a printing surface of a moving printing object by a thermal transfer roller. [0004] However, when a printing ribbon is pressed directly on a printing object with a print head as in a conventional direct thermal transfer printing method and printing is performed, a large force is applied to the print head. The print head is severely damaged,
There was a problem that the replacement cost was high. On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Nos. 1-240504 and 2
Although the above-mentioned problem can be solved and the durability of the print head can be improved by the indirect thermal transfer printing method of -71808, the manufacturing cost of the printing ribbon is reduced because the printing ribbon has a two-layer structure with two films. And the running cost is high. In addition, the above-mentioned applications are all techniques for printing on a long and long printing object such as a cardboard which cannot be printed by directly pressing the print head. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and enables indirect thermal transfer printing using a conventional one-layer inexpensive general-purpose printing ribbon. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an indirect thermal transfer printing method on a single sheet of paper in which the running cost of the printing ribbon is reduced and the running cost is reduced by increasing the durability of the print head. In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, an indirect thermal transfer printing method for a single-sheet piece according to the present invention comprises a single-sheet piece taken out one by one from a single-sheet feeder. In the thermal transfer printing method in which the thermal transfer printing is performed, the printing ribbon and the transfer printing tape are wound up and unwound independently and parallel to each other at the same speed, and at a halfway position between the print head and the thermal transfer transfer platen roller. The print content is thermally transferred from the print head to the print ribbon by applying the specified heat to the print ribbon, and the heat-transfer-transferred surface is conveyed by a printing belt conveyor. The print contents can be transferred and printed by pressing the print surface with the transfer printing roller. Various embodiments of the single-sheet feeder have been proposed, and the present invention is not particularly limited thereto. When the start switch is pressed, the unwinding means and the winding means unwind the printing ribbon and the transfer printing tape independently and in parallel at the same speed. The paper is wound and travels in parallel in the gap between the print head and the transfer printing platen roller at the same speed. When the timing at which the single piece of paper is sent is detected, prescribed heat is applied from the print head to the printing ribbon, and desired print contents are thermally transferred from the printing ribbon to the transfer surface of the transfer printing tape. Furthermore, at a position where the transfer printing roller runs parallel to the printing surface of the single sheet of paper conveyed on the transfer printing tape, the transfer printing roller captures the timing of printing and presses the transfer printing tape against the single sheet of paper. . Then, the print content thermally transferred to the transfer printing tape surface is transferred and printed on a single sheet of paper. [0010] Thus. The transfer printing is performed on the single-sheet piece sent from the single-sheet sheet supply unit one after another. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A description will be given of an embodiment of a thermal transfer printing apparatus used in an indirect thermal transfer method for a single sheet of paper according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the thermal transfer printing apparatus of the present invention comprises a thermal transfer printing section 1, a transfer printing section 2, and a printing belt conveyor 3 which are independent from each other. The thermal transfer printing section 1 comprises unwinding means 5, winding means 5 and a print head 7 for the printing ribbon 4.
The other transfer printing section 2 includes a transfer means 9 for unwinding the transfer printing tape 8, a thermal transfer platen roller 11 of a winding means 10, and a transfer printing roller 12. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the winding means 6 of the thermal transfer printing section 1 conveys a single sheet 13 taken out from an appropriate single sheet feeding apparatus (not shown). A main rotating shaft 14 is provided above the printing belt conveyor 3.
Attach the timing pulley 15 to this,
A timing belt 19 is hung between this and a timing pulley 18 attached to an output shaft 17 of a motor 16 so as to be rotatable. The detachable take-up reel 20 is fixed to the main rotating shaft 14 so that the take-up reel 20 can be rotated integrally therewith, and the initial end of the printing ribbon 4 is locked thereto. Further, the unwinding means 5 mounted adjacent to the winding means 6 is constituted by fixing the unwinding reel 22 around which the printing ribbon 4 is wound on the free rotating shaft 21. The desired printing contents can be arbitrarily added to the side where the carbon ribbon is not applied while the printing ribbon 4 which is wound and unwound by the winding means 6 and the unwinding means 5 is running. A print head for thermally transferring an editable print pattern to the print ribbon is arranged. The other transfer printing unit 2 is disposed adjacent to the thermal transfer unit 1 and has a main rotating shaft 14 of the thermal transfer printing unit 1.
The timing pulley 2 is attached to the main rotating shaft 23 supported in parallel with
4 and a timing belt 2 between this and a timing pulley 27 attached to an output shaft 26 of a motor 25.
Multiply by 8 so that it can be rotated. A take-up reel 29 is attached to the main rotating shaft 23 and fixed so that the take-up reel 29 can be rotated integrally therewith. A free rotation shaft 30 parallel to the main rotation shaft 23 is attached, an unwind reel 31 is attached to the free rotation shaft 30, and the unwinding means 9 in which the initial end of the transfer printing tape 8 is locked. Further, a thermal transfer platen roller 11 is attached to the side facing the print head 7 in the middle of the travel of the transfer printing tape 8 which is wound and unwound by the winding means 10 and the unwinding means 9. This thermal transfer platen roller 11
When a specified thermal transfer is applied from the print head 7 to the print ribbon 4 by placing a gap between the print head 7 and the print ribbon 4 and the transfer print tape 8 such that the print ribbon 4 and the transfer print tape 8 run parallel to each other. Then, the thermal transfer platen roller 11 is moved toward the print head 7 so that the transfer printing tape 8 and the printing ribbon 4 can be overlapped and pressed. Further, the unwinding means 9 and the winding means 1
0, and the transfer printing tape 8 running toward the one winding means 10 side passes through the gap between the print head 7 and the thermal transfer platen roller 11 and then prints. A guide roller 32 for guiding the single piece of paper 13 conveyed by the belt conveyor 3 to run parallel to the printing surface is attached. After passing through the guide roller 32, the transfer printing tape 8 is removed from above. The transfer printing roller 12 to be pressed down is attached. The mounting position of the transfer printing roller 12 is determined by the transfer surface of the transfer printing tape 8 and the printing belt conveyor 3 that conveys the single sheet 13 taken out from an appropriate single sheet feeding device (not shown).
A gap is formed between the sheet and the upper surface of the sheet, and the transfer printing roller 12 automatically descends when the sheet 13 passes through the gap, and the printing surface of the sheet 13 is Is pressed so that transfer printing can be performed. The transfer printing roller 12 may not be automatically lowered, but may be configured to press the upper surface of the printing belt conveyor 3 with a required pressing pressure from the beginning with a spring or the like. In order to transfer a print pattern accurately from the printing ribbon 4 to the transfer printing tape 8 side, it is necessary to run them at the same speed. For this purpose, the rotation adjustment control unit 3 is provided to the motors 16 and 25 for driving the unwinding means 5 and 9 and the winding means 6 and 10 of the thermal transfer printing unit 1 and the transfer printing unit 2 respectively.
3 is connected, and receives a signal from a winding amount detection unit 34 that detects an increase or decrease in the winding amount of the printing ribbon 4 and the transfer printing tape 8, and controls their traveling speed. A personal computer (not shown) is connected to the print head 7, from which desired print contents are edited and data is transmitted to the print head 7. When the start switch is pressed, the printing ribbon 4 and the transfer printing tape 8 are unwound by the unwinding means 5 and 9 and the winding means 6 and 10, respectively. The paper is wound and travels in the gap between the print head 7 and the transfer printing platen roller 11 at the same speed and in parallel with each other. The sensor detects the timing at which the single-sheet piece 13 is sent from the single-sheet supply device, and applies specified heat from the print head 7 to the printing ribbon 4 to transfer and print desired print contents from the printing ribbon 4. Is thermally transferred to the transfer surface of the application tape 8. Further, while traveling on the transfer surface of the transfer printing tape 8 in parallel with the printing surface of the conveyed single sheet 13, the transfer printing roller 12 is moved to the single sheet 13 by taking printing timing. When pressed or retracted, the print content thermally transferred to the surface of the transfer printing tape 8 is transferred to a required portion of the single-sheet piece 13 to be printed. In this manner, transfer printing is performed on the single-sheet piece 13 sent out from the single-sheet sheet supply unit one after another. The present invention is configured as described above, and has the following effects. According to the present invention, a general-purpose printing ribbon which is conventionally used at a low price can be used as it is, so that the running cost is reduced. Further, since the transfer printing tape can be made of a cheap material such as a paper tape without using an expensive material such as a film, the running cost of the material can be reduced. Further, instead of directly pressing the print head against the print target, the print content is once thermally transferred to the transfer printing tape side, and the transfer printing tape is pressed onto the printing surface of a single sheet of paper to perform transfer printing. Since the indirect thermal transfer printing method is adopted, the print head is not damaged and the durability is increased, so that the running cost of the print head can be reduced. Since thermal transfer printing can be performed with a compact apparatus, equipment costs can be reduced.
