THERMAL ACTIVATION METHOD FOR THERMOSENSITIVE ADHESIVE LABEL, AND DEVICE AND PRINTER THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the efficiency of thermal activation of thermosensitive adhesive label. SOLUTION: The thermosensitive adhesive labels 2 are transported in the state of bringing a thermosensitive adhesive layer 5 into contact with a heat resistant transporting belt 13 heated by a heating means 14. At the time of the transportation, the thermosensitive adhesive labels 2 are thermally activated while the thermosensitive adhesive labels 2 are kept pressed to the heat resistant transporting belt 13 by a pressing means 15. Since the thermosensitive adhesive layer 5 is strongly pressed to the heat resistant transporting belt 13 which is kept heated, heat transfers well from the heat resistant transporting belt 13 to the thermosensitive adhesive layer 5 and the efficiency of the thermal activation of the thermosensitive adhesive labels 2 is enhanced and the thermosensitive adhesive layer 5 generate sufficient adhesiveness.
