Lamination transfer object producing apparatus and method

摘要

A thermal printer is comprised of a head section (30) for applying heat with pressure to a transfer film having a meal foil, arranged to cover an ink layer of a desired pattern formed on print paper, and removed to transfer the metal foil toward the print paper, and a controller (21, 22, 23) for controlling the head section (30) such that the transfer film is heated with a heating pattern larger than the pattern of the ink layer by at least a margin for positional displacement between the ink layer and the head section (30), so as to obtain a lamination transfer object which a contour of the metal foil is aligned with that of the ink layer by an adhesive force between the metal foil and the ink layer.
