PHOTOTHERMAL CONVERSION TYPE HEAT MODE RECORDING METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide the title recording method enabling the sufficient vacuum close contact with a substrate and also enabling high speed recording improved in transfer properties. CONSTITUTION:In a photothermal conversion type heat mode recording method wherein a photothermal conversion type heat mode recording material 3 and a photothermal conversion type heat mode image receiving material 4 are supported on a substrate 6 to be superposed so that the surface having an ink layer of the heat mode recording material 3 is opposed to the image receiving surface of the heat mode image receiving material 4 and irradiated with the light corresponding to image data to transfer the ink layer to the image receiving surface, protruding parts 63 having depth almost the same as the thickness of the heat mode image receiving material 4 arranged in the vicinity of the substrate 6 are provided to the substrate 6 so as to surround the heat mode image receiving material 4. At the time of superposition, the heat mode image receiving material 4 arranged in the vicinity of the substrate 6 is fitted in the part 64 surrounded by the protruding parts 63 and at least one vacuum hole 61 is provided to the gap 65 between the heat mode image receiving material arranged in the vicinity of the substrate and the protruding parts 63.
