<p>PURPOSE:To reduce the cost of a device by carrying toner on a cylindrical component without particularly using a photo-sensitive body, melting the toner on the cylindrical component selectively by far infrared rays and transferring the toner to a paper. CONSTITUTION:Toner (t) stored in a toner container 5 is deposited on an adhesive layer 6 formed on the peripheral face of the cylindrical component by its own viscosity, and toner (t) is carried to an image transfer section D where the cylindrical component 2 and a platen 3 facing each other, and laser beam 4' is scanned from a laser head 4 to the paper surface vertical direction to melt the toner (t) on the cylindrical component 2 selectively and transfer the same to a paper P and form a toner image on the paper P. Thus a thermal transfer printer can be constituted without using a component of high running cost like an expensive photosensitive body, an ink ribbon or the like.</p> |
