〔産業上の利用分野〕
本発明は、ドツトプリンタやベルト式プリンタなどの印

るようにしたインクリボンに関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention significantly reduces wear of ink ribbons used in printing devices such as dot printers and belt-type printers, and more specifically, the wear of type members of terminals of printing devices. This invention relates to an ink ribbon that can be reduced.
近時、コンピュータの端末などに連結され長時間連続し
て印字することができるドツトプリンタやベルト式プリ
ンタなどの印字装置が種々開発されており、その印字部
材として通常タングステンや表面がクロムメッキまたは
ニッケルメッキされた鉄やステンレスがそれぞれ用いら
れている。Recently, various printing devices such as dot printers and belt printers that are connected to computer terminals and can print continuously for long periods of time have been developed. Both iron and stainless steel are used.
Ｃ発明が解決しようとする問題点〕
ところが、この種の印字部材にあっては、長時間にわた
る連続運転によりその印字面が簡単に摩耗してしまい、
得られた印字像が著しく不鮮明になるという欠点がある
。例えば、タングステン製の印字部材を用いたドツトプ
リンタの場合、約１０００時間の連続運転で活字部材は
先端から約１鶴摩耗する。また、表面がクロムメッキさ
れた鉄製の印字部材を用いたベルト式プリンタの場合、
長時間運転による摩耗のためにクロムメッキが剥げて露
出した鉄が腐蝕してしまい、通常１０００万ラインプリ
ントで活字部材を交換しなければならないという欠点が
ある。Problems to be solved by the invention C] However, in this type of printing member, the printing surface easily wears out due to continuous operation over a long period of time.
There is a drawback that the obtained printed image becomes extremely unclear. For example, in the case of a dot printer using a printing member made of tungsten, the type member wears out about one square inch from the tip after about 1,000 hours of continuous operation. In addition, in the case of a belt-type printer that uses an iron printing member with a chrome-plated surface,
Due to wear caused by long-term operation, the chrome plating peels off and the exposed iron corrodes, resulting in the disadvantage that the type member must be replaced after 10 million line prints.
本発明者はその原因がどこにあるのか、種々研究を重ね
た結果、この種の印字装置に使用されているインクリボ
ンに含浸または塗布せしめられるインキの成分がその主
因をなすことを見い出した。The inventor of the present invention has conducted various studies to determine the cause of this problem, and has discovered that the main cause of this problem is the components of the ink that is impregnated or applied to the ink ribbon used in this type of printing device.
しかして、この種のインクリボンに含浸または塗布せし

ものと比ベカーボンプランクを併用したものは印字濃度
も濃く、ニジミのない印字品位の良いものができるが、
硬度が硬く、その上二次凝集を起すため、初期の印字像
に比べて連続印字後の印字像がきわめて不鮮明なものと
なることがＩＩＩＩ認されている。The ink that is impregnated or coated on this type of ink ribbon is usually prepared by adding carbon black and oil-soluble dyes as colorants together with a dispersant to an oil vehicle, and then uniformly kneading these. However, when printing with an ink ribbon impregnated or coated with ink made of this component, the print density is darker and the print quality is free from smearing, compared to those using only oil-soluble dyes. You can make something good, but
It is well recognized that since the hardness is hard and secondary aggregation occurs, the printed image after continuous printing becomes extremely unclear compared to the initial printed image.
そこで、本発明者はさらに研究を重ねた結果、この種の
印字装置に使用されるインクリボンに含浸または塗布せ
しめられるインキの成分を特殊なものとすることにより
、得られるインクリボンは上記欠点がなく、種々の活字
部材の摩耗を著しく減少せしめ得る等の優れた効果を奏
するという事実を見い出し、本発明を完成するに至った
ものである。Therefore, as a result of further research, the inventor of the present invention found that by using special components of the ink that is impregnated or applied to the ink ribbon used in this type of printing device, the resulting ink ribbon does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks. However, the present invention was completed based on the discovery that the present invention has excellent effects such as significantly reducing the wear of various type members.
即ち、本発明のインクリボンは、これに含浸または塗布
せしめられているインキ中の着色剤として、染料または
（および）ニグロシンレーキ顔料を用いたことを特徴と
するものである。That is, the ink ribbon of the present invention is characterized in that a dye or/and nigrosine lake pigment is used as a coloring agent in the ink impregnated or applied thereto.
特に、ニグロシンレーキ顔料は、インキ中に２〜２０重
量パーセントの範囲で含有せしめるのが最も望ましく、
また、ニグロシンレーキ顔料の粒子の大きさとしては、
その粒径が５μ以下のものが最も望ましい。In particular, it is most desirable that the nigrosine lake pigment is contained in the ink in an amount of 2 to 20 weight percent.
In addition, the particle size of nigrosine lake pigment is as follows:
It is most desirable that the particle size is 5 μm or less.

とができる。The ink used in the present invention is prepared by adding a predetermined amount of a coloring agent (dye or nigrosine lake pigment) to an oil vehicle together with a dispersant and uniformly kneading the mixture using, for example, a three-roll mill. The ink ribbon of the present invention can be obtained by impregnating or coating an ink ribbon base with the ink obtained thereby.

。Further, as the above-mentioned oils and dispersants, constituent components conventionally used in the production of this type of ink ribbon can be used as they are. Among these oils,
For example, mineral oil, animal/vegetable oil, etc. can be mentioned.

た潤滑性を示し、その潤滑作用とインキ中に含有せしめ
られている上記油類の潤滑性とが相乗して優れた潤滑効
果を発揮する。Dyes or (and) nigrosine lake pigments are used as coloring agents in inks containing oils, colorants, and dispersants as the main components, and ink ribbons impregnated or coated with these inks are usually coated with the ink as a vehicle. The synergistic effect of the lubricity of the oils contained therein, such as mineral oil, animal/vegetable oil, and the lubricity of the dye or/and nigrosine lake pigment, provides an extremely excellent lubrication effect. In other words, both dyes and nigrosine lake pigments used as coloring agents have the property that due to their composition structure, the folds between adjacent thin films tend to shift due to a slight external force, and they also have good dispersibility. It exhibits excellent lubricity, and its lubrication effect and the lubricity of the above-mentioned oils contained in the ink work together to produce an excellent lubrication effect.
なお、ニグロシンレーキ顔料は、インキ中に２〜２０重
量パーセントの範囲で含有せしめるのが好ましいが、そ
の理由は、ニグロシンレーキ顔料の添加量が上記範囲よ
り大きくなるとインキ流動性が悪くなり、また、逆に小
さくなるとインキの潤滑性が低下するからである。一方
、ニグロシンレーキ顔料の粒径は５μ以下０．５μ以上
の範囲内にあることが好ましいが、その理由は、粒径が
上記範囲より大きくなると上記潤滑効果が低減し、また
粒径が逆に小さくなると隠蔽力が劣るからである。The nigrosine lake pigment is preferably contained in the ink in an amount of 2 to 20% by weight, because if the amount of the nigrosine lake pigment added exceeds the above range, the fluidity of the ink will deteriorate; On the other hand, if it becomes smaller, the lubricity of the ink will decrease. On the other hand, the particle size of the nigrosine lake pigment is preferably in the range of 5μ or less and 0.5μ or more, because if the particle size becomes larger than the above range, the above-mentioned lubricating effect decreases, This is because the smaller the size, the lower the hiding power.
本発明によるインクリボンは、印字部材の摩耗が低減せ
しめられ、ために、その寿命を延長することができる効
果がある。従って、印字された印字像も鮮明さを長く維
持することができる。The ink ribbon according to the present invention has the effect that wear of the printing member is reduced, thereby extending its life. Therefore, the printed image can also maintain its sharpness for a long time.
