Multicolor heat transfer recorder

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To achieve a higher recording speed and a less running cost by combining a simple black ink film in such a manner as to run between a recording head and a platen together with a recording paper. CONSTITUTION:For example, in the operation of a multicolor recording containing a black character, a recording paper 4 circulate through a circulative conveyance path 7 for recording papers and a multicolor printing is done with a recording head 1a through a multicolor ink film 3A running together with the recording paper 4 while a single black recording head 1B is pressed on a platen 2B to perform a black printing through a single black ink film 3B. Then, when the single black recording mode is set, the recording head 1A is released from the pressing on a platen 2A with a release mechanism and as soon as the tip of the recording paper is detected with a sensor 12B, the single black ink film 3B is conveyed to the position of the recording head 1B together with the recording paper 4 with the rotation of the platen 2B and peeled off with a peeling plate 10B after a single black recording. Thus, the recording is speeded up to reduce the consumption of the ink film.
