MULTI-COLOR PRINTING METHOD FOR CONTAINER.

摘要

A multi-color image formed on a belt by electrophotography is fixed to the portion to be printed of a container consisting of metal, glass, plastic, paper or the like, through a single thermal transfer process. A multi-color image is formed on a plastic film laminated on a belt by utilizing electrophotography and a firm multi-color printing surfaces is formed by transferring and fusing the plastic film onto a container as the object of printing. Furthermore, when a multi-color image is formed by utilizing electrophotography, exposure light is applied from the back of a photosensitive member and multi-color printing free from color shift is completed by preventing the exposure light from being cut off by a toner image.
