PULSE HEATING METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PRINTING AND DYEING

摘要

The present invention provides apparatus, systems and methods in which a pulse heater is used to apply dyes to a receiver in a rotary heating processing equipment. The pulse heater is first applied to a belt and is then removed from the belt, creating a dissipating heat. A sandwiched receiver comprising of two dyed donor papers is then subjected to the dissipating heat off the belt and also subjected to a constant heat generated from a drum to cause a phase change of the dyes within the donor papers to phase change from a solid to a gas, so the receiver can absorb and capture the phase changed dyes for a more saturated and brilliant finish.
