THERMAL PRINTING APPARATUS WITH TEMPERATURE CONTROL

摘要

A thermal printing apparatus for magnetic tapes is disclosed which transfers information such as video information on a master tape to a slave tape. In general, the slave tape is heated to a temperature in the vicinity of its Curie point. After the slave tape is brought into contact with the master tape, it is separated from the master tape and cooled which fixed the information on the slave tape. With the invention, the temperature of the slave tape at the time of printing can be precisely controlled.
