<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a long life by restraining the ink ribbon consumption amount in a multi-time even in the case of the recording surface of a relatively wide recording paper, and to provide a sharp printed surface after printing and recording. SOLUTION: A method for transferring a part of an ink in the ink layer 41b to a recording paper 100 by heating an ink ribbon R having a multi-time ink layer 41b by a thermal head 16 having a plurality of heated heat generating elements 19 according to image recording information, wherein a heat amount uniformly reduced to a predetermined ratio is applied to the heat generating elements 19 of the thermal head 16 as well as the heat generating elements 19 of the thermal head 16 are heated by a plurality of times so that the printing and recording operation is executed by gradually transferring the ink of the ink layer 41b to the recording paper 100, is provided.</p> |
