ELECTRIC FIELD ATTRACTION TYPE LINE RECORDING APPARATUS

摘要

PURPOSE:To perform sharp printing imparting a high resolution by bringing the cleaning means of an intermediate medium into contact with the surface of the intermediate medium during the period when the intermediate medium for transferring an ink image to recording paper moves from the transfer part to the recording paper to a penetration control part. CONSTITUTION:In an electric field attraction type line recording apparatus, an intermediate medium 10 is held between a penetration control film 2 having pores for controlling penetration and a recording electrode 7 and voltage is selectively applied across the recording electrode 7 and an ink supply part 1 to once apply the recording corresponding to recording data to the intermediate medium 10. The part to be recorded of the intermediate medium 10 is moved to a transfer part and brought into contact with recording paper 5 to transfer an ink image to the recording paper 5. In this case, the intermediate medium is formed into a belt shape and a cleaning means 14 is provided thereon. The cleaning means 14 is constituted of a water absorbable member impregnated with a cleaning solution such as alcohol and the water absorbable member is pressed to the intermediate medium on the outside of a feed roller 12.
