Abstract

It is from the second half of the 1970s that applied the technology of the thermal-transfer-printing system to the world, and it was put in practical use as the printer and word processor of a season ticket issuing machine.<br>Especially in the word processor, electronic equipment manufacturers came to sell many word processors to the market.<br>However, when it becomes late in the 1980s, a personal computer will replace a word processor by evolution of software, and it came to be classified and used for the personal computer and the printer (terminal printer).<br>At the present, this terminal printer becomes not only a thermal-transfer-printing system but a form which competes and suits high-definition picture formation from convenience or cost, and the number of the printers of an ink-jet system or a laser print system is increasing.<br>However, since a work principle is easy in a thermal-transfer-recording system and also there is a feature that the design with budget prices is comparatively possible, and it can miniaturize, many are used also for fields other than a terminal printer.<br>There are specifically two, a melting type thermal-transfer-printing system and a sublimated type thermal-transfer-printing system, in a thermal-transfer-printing system.<br>One is since fine printing performance and the durability of printed matter are good, it is used for many fields, such as a facsimile and a bar code, another is used for the photograph field which forms a picture because it can express story tonality richly in the latter. Development of ink ribbon with functionality is needed to change of such a market, and the performance as a thermal-transfer-printing material has also come to improve by improving development of ink and coating technology.<br>Especially this article explains focusing on a change of the ink technology of a facsimile or the melting type thermal-transfer-printing material for bar codes.
