Abstract
A dummy image is formed on a periphery of a retransfer image region on a transfer medium where a primary transfer image is not retransferred on the transfer medium when the primary transfer image is formed on the intermediate transfer film. As the result, peeling tension exerted on the intermediate transfer film is approximately even in a width direction, the primary transfer image is retransferred onto the transfer medium without changing of a transfer condition, and an optimal retransfer condition can be obtained.
Claims12
A transfer recording apparatus comprising:
- a line thermal head for transferring ink of an ink film on an intermediate transfer film to form a primary transfer image,
- a transfer medium, and
- a retransfer means for forming a desired image on the transfer medium,
- wherein a dummy image is formed on a periphery of a retransfer image region on the transfer medium, and the primary transfer image is not retransferred when the primary transfer image is formed on the intermediate transfer film.
A transfer recording apparatus comprising:
- a line thermal head for transferring ink of a multicolor ink film on an intermediate transfer film to form a primary transfer image,
- a transfer medium
- a retransfer means for forming a desired image on the transfer medium,
- wherein a dummy image is formed on a periphery of the retransfer image region on the transfer medium, and the primary transfer image is not retransferred when the primary transfer image is formed on the intermediate transfer film.
A method of transferring images comprising
- driving a line thermal head to transfer ink of an ink film on an intermediate transfer film to form a primary transfer image,
- retransferring the primary transfer image on a transfer medium using a retransfer means to form a desired image on the transfer medium, and
- forming a dummy image on a periphery of a retransfer image region on the transfer medium, wherein the primary transfer image is not retransferred when the primary transfer image is formed on the intermediate transfer film.
A method of forming images comprising
- driving a line thermal head to transfer ink of a multicolor ink film on an intermediate transfer film to form a primary transfer image,
- retransferring the primary transfer image on a transfer medium using a retransfer means to form a desired image on the transfer medium, and
- forming a dummy image on a periphery of a retransfer image region on the transfer medium,
- wherein the primary transfer image is not retransferred when the primary transfer image is formed on the intermediate transfer film.
