Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the period of time required for recording on multiple sheets of paper, by a method wherein original plates for each color are separately supported, and a recording paper recorded in an ink supplied through recording holes by being brought into pressure contact with a perforated layer of the original plate is provided. CONSTITUTION:A paper supplying and feeding belt 12 is driven, and a recording paper 14 is passed on the lower side of rollers 11Y, 11M, 11C. In this case, the rollers 11Y, 11M, 11C are sequentially lowered in accordance with detection of the leading end of the paper 14, and are rotated by being brought into pressure contact with the belt 12. Under this pressure contact condition, an ink in an ink layer 9 is pressed out through the recording holes of the perforated layer 8 onto the recording paper 14, thereby recording. These operations are conducted by sequentially using three kinds of original plates for a single sheet of recording paper 14, thereby achieving color recording. The rollers 11Y, 11M, 11C are sequentially returned upward in response to detection of the trailing end of the paper 14. The recording paper 14 thus recorded is discharged into a paper- discharging tray.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, there are various types of color printers, including a polaroid type, an electrophotographic type, a thermal transfer type, and an inkjet type. However, when recording a large number of sheets, either method requires recording by applying a recording signal each time. In other words, the same operation as in one-sheet recording is repeated, and recording a large number of sheets takes time.

In such a configuration, for example, recording for yellow
When a signal is input, the stencil master (6Y) will open its perforated layer (
8) is selectively fed to the thermal head (1) section so that the paper is on the thermal head (1) side. Therefore, the perforation layer (8) of the stencil master (6Y) is perforated by a thermal signal corresponding to the recording signal for yellow from the thermal head (1) to form a recording hole, and a master for yellow is created. . Then, the roller (lly) is selected, and the original is wound and set on the roller (lly). For other color stencil masters (6M) (60), the same master production operation and the winding and setting operation around the roller (IIM) (110) are repeated. In addition, in the winding state, the perforated layer (8) side is the outer periphery. Also, each roller (110) (IIM) (II
When wrapping the originals around Y), each must match in position, but this can be achieved by an existing method such as a mark reading method. Laura (110) (IIMOIIY

In this press contact state, the ink of the ink layer (9) is extruded onto the recording paper 0 through the recording holes of the perforated layer (8) and recorded. Since such an operation is performed for one sheet of recording paper α4 on three types of original plates Il['i, color recording is performed. The rollers (IIY) (IIM) (110) sequentially rise and return upon detection of the trailing edge of the recording paper α. Then, the recorded recording paper (b) is discharged to the paper discharge tray α9. As a result, even when recording a large number of sheets, there is no need to operate the thermal head (1) each time, and the feeding and conveyance of the recording paper α and the up and down movement of the rollers (IIY) (IIM) (110) at predetermined timings are not necessary. The process can be completed in a short time by simply repeating the process.

In this embodiment, a three-color system of yellow (leopard, magenta), and cyan (C1) was explained, but it is of course possible to add black (B1, etc.) as necessary. The perforated layer (6) is not limited to thermal stencil paper, but may also be a combination of, for example, discharge stencil paper (fax paper) and discharge needles as the recording output member.
