Estimating the term…
It is provided a rewritable printing method and its printer in which a heat sensitive medium with a leuco type coating applied is used to rewrite the information repeatedly, printing can be performed in the same way as the conventional technique, and the medium easily as the transmission means of the information, thereby extremely contributing to the improvement of environmental issues relating to the use of paper. In a printing machine 1, a heat sensitive medium 10 set in a paper setting unit 21 is moved toward a printing processing unit 3 by a feeding roller 33, thereby printing character information by a printing head 31. While, the printed heat sensitive medium 10 set in a paper receiving unit 23 is moved toward an erasing processing unit 4 by a feeding roller 43, thereby erasing a printed portion of the heat sensitive medium 10 by an erasing head 41.
A rewritable printer characterized by comprising a printing processing unit for printing on a rewritable heat sensitive medium and an erasing processing unit for erasing a printed portion of the printed heat sensitive medium.
A rewritable printing method characterized in that a heating temperature toward the heat sensitive medium at an erasing mode is more than a temperature of lower limit of a discoloring area and less than a temperature of lower limit of a coloring area when printing continuously after erasing printing of the heat sensitive medium with leuco type coating applied.
