Embodiment Construction

[0079] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in the following description, the same code|symbol is used for the structural element which has substantially the same function and structure, and repeated description is repeated as needed.

[0080] Figure 4 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an image forming apparatus employing an indirect copying method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0081] Such as Figure 4 As shown, the intermediate transfer film 3 and the ink ribbon 4 pass between the thermal head 1 and the platen 2 as the image forming mechanism. In the state where the intermediate transfer film 3 and the ink ribbon 4 are stacked on the platen 2, by selectively heating the ink ribbon 4 with the thermal head 1, the image forming layer 10 of the intermediate transfer film 3 is formed in a mirror image. The state forms a recorded image.

[0082] Furthermore, the interm...

Abstract

A device for forming an image by indirect transfer comprises a platen roller (2), an intermediate transfer film (3) provided on the platen roller (2), and an ink ribbon (4) laid on the intermediate transfer film (3). The ink ribbon (4) is selectively heated by a thermal head (1). An image to be recorded is formed in the form of a mirror image on an image forming layer (10) of the intermediate transfer film (3). The intermediate transfer film (3) and a transfer body (9) are heated and pressed between a heating roller (5) and a press roller (6), and the image forming layer (10) is transferred onto the body (9) together with the image to be transferred. The intermediate transfer film (3) and the ink ribbon (4) are housed in detachable cassettes (22, 30) and drawn out of the cassettes (22, 30) to form an image to be recorded.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus and method for indirect copying, and a copy medium cartridge used in the image forming apparatus, wherein once a recorded image is formed on an intermediate copy medium, thereafter, each of the recorded images is formed The intermediate copying medium of the layer is copied to an object to be copied which is a card-shaped, sheet-shaped, book-shaped, or disk-shaped article (the shape is not limited) on which an image is to be formed. Background technique [0002] There is known an indirect copying method in which a recorded image of a mirror image is formed on an image-forming layer of an intermediate copy medium, and the recorded image is copied onto an object to be copied to form a recorded image of a positive image. In this method, for example, as an intermediate transfer medium, an intermediate transfer film having a substrate in the form of a long film and an image provided thereon and pee...
