PURPOSE:To provide a sublimation type printer obtaining high image quality by making the gap between a plurality of evaporators evaporating a liquefied disperse dye as small as possible. CONSTITUTION:A sublimation type printer is equipped with a dye storing tank 11 storing a solid disperse dye 12, a liquefied dye introducing part 16 liquefying the solid disperse dye in the dye storing tank 11 to guide the same and a plurality of evaporators 17 arranged along the liquefied dye introducing part 16 at a predetermined interval and evaporating the liquefied disperse dye 12' from the liquefied dye introducing part 16 by evaporation heat. The liquefied dye introducing part 16 is constituted of capillary tubes consisting of a protective layer 13, a spacer 14 and a head base 15 to be allowed to communicate with the respective evaporators 17. The evaporaters 17 are respectively arranged alternately on the left and right sides of the liquefied dye introducing part 16. By this constitution, the gap between the respective evaporators can be minimized and the evaporated disperse dye 12'' evaporated by the photothermal converters 40 of the evaporators 17 is thermally transferred to printing paper 50. |
