PURPOSE:To enable conductive ink to be supplied to an ink sheet under a state of no contact with the ink sheet by a method wherein an electrode is brought into contact with an insulating base material, and conductive ink to be introduced to a transfer part is carried to a position facing the electrode via the ink sheet i.e., to a position coming in no contact with the ink sheet. CONSTITUTION:An ink sheet 1 is brought into contact with an electrode 10 on its insulating base material 2, and a carrying means of inductive ink and an electric charge injection means to the conductive ink are provided to a position facing the electrode 10. A conductive sleeve 9 having a multipole magnetized magnet roller 8 buit-in is arranged as the carrying means at a specific gap from the ink sheet. The conductive ink 7 having magnetism with which a transfer part 4 is to be filled, is held with magnetic force on the sleeve 9. That is, a magnetic brush is formed by the conductive ink on the sleeve 9. The conductive ink 7 is carried to be supplied to the ink sheet side by rotation in the arrow 11 direction of the sleeve 9. |
