PURPOSE:To make it possible to perform positive printing by a small amount of picture signal energy even through high melting point ribbon in which sticking phenomenon does not occur is used, by providing a means preheating the heat transfer ribbon, which is supplied to a thermal head. CONSTITUTION:When a printing signal is inputted, a carriage 6 compresses the thermal head 1 and compressing electrode rollers 9 and 10 to the heat transfer ink ribbon 5a and moves it along recording paper 7. The compressing electrode rollers 9 and 10 are contacted with a conductive layer 5-1, and flow the current in a conductive layer 5-3. In this way, the heat transfer ink ribbon 5 is heated until the desired temperature is obtained. |
