Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate maintenance, by a method wherein a visible image is produced on a card having a printing layer on the face side and a magnetic recording layer on the back side by using a transfer ribbon provided with a hot- melting ink and a thermal printer, and the image is fixed by bringing into contact with a heating body. CONSTITUTION:In the thermal printer provided at a printing part II, the card 1 is laminated on the transfer ribbon 5 so that the printing layer 4 comes into contact with a transfer ink layer 7, tien the laminate is heated correspondingly to an electric signal while exerting a pressure by a pressing roller 11, whereby the hot-melting ink is softened and is transferred onto the card to produce the image. The ink thus transferred is brought into contact with the heating body 12 at a fixing part III, and is easily absorbed into the inside part of the printing layer 4 by permeation. Accordingly, since a contact heating system excellent in thermal efficiency and a transfer ink having a low softening point are used, the amount of electric power consumed in a heating source is small. In addition, since flash lamps are not used, maintenance problems such as replacement of lamps are eliminated.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of industrial fields in which the following requirements regarding card recording, printing, marking, etc. are strongly desired. Examples of cards that are not simply printed on paper but must withstand harsh usage conditions for long periods of time include various securities, certificates, commuter passes for automatic ticket gates, labels, name plates, display boards, and signs. There are fields such as recording, displaying, etc., or directly marking symbols etc. on the surface of various products. The characteristics required for this type of recording are that the recorded image must have excellent abrasion resistance, weather resistance, water resistance, solvent resistance, and tamper resistance. In other words, it is a system that can easily output information stored in a computer or the like and can record using a recording method with a simple mechanism.

However, looking at practical examples so far, it is necessary to issue cards in a short time, so it is necessary to print in a short time. Although the amount was necessary to transfer to the card print layer, it was not sufficient to penetrate into the print layer. When a card was used in such a printed state, the abrasion resistance of the ink image was extremely poor due to incomplete fixation. In particular, when the card is a commuter pass, the ink image is rubbed at the automatic ticket gate and the image (
Bad phenomena such as shifting, fading, and staining of non-image areas occur. Therefore, to increase the durability of this image,
After printing, a fixing step is required in which the printing ink of the image permeates into the inside of the printing layer by heat treatment.

For this purpose, heat ray irradiation using a flash lamp is used in issuing machines currently in practical use. This heating method using a Franche lamp has the advantage of being able to heat the card in a short time without contacting it, and is widely used. The parts and accessories are large, and the issuing machine requires a large space, which poses installation problems. For this reason, there has been a desire for a printing machine equipped with a simple, compact, and effective heating mechanism to replace a flash lamp, and if this could be realized, the use of printing machines equipped with thermal transfer printers would expand dramatically.

In addition, the material of the hot melt ink is a mixture and dispersion or dissolution of a coloring material such as a pigment such as carbon or a dye in a hot melt substance mainly composed of Hook 2Y, and the hot melt ink is coated on the base film using a hot melt coater. A coating coated with a thickness of 2 to 5 μm using a gravure coater or the like is used. As mentioned above, in order to improve transferability in a short aging time, it is appropriate for this heat-melting ink to be a material with a low softening point of 70 to 90C and excellent heat fluidity. If the transferability is too low, the printed image is likely to bleed, resulting in a decrease in image quality.

The ink transferred to the printing layer can easily penetrate and be absorbed into the printing layer by contacting the heating element (121) in the fixing section (button).In the present invention, a contact heating method with high heating efficiency can be used. Moreover, since the transfer ink with a low temperature softening point is thermally melted, temperature control at a relatively low temperature of about 80 to 100 C is sufficient, so less power is used for the heat source and the preheating time is short.For this reason, it is suitable for high-speed processing. Although the excellent flash lamp mechanism has major drawbacks in terms of maintenance and installation as described above, the present invention is superior overall compared to the heating mechanism of the present invention which has great practical advantages.
