INK SHEET FOR MULTICOLOR TRANSFER TYPE PRINTER

PURPOSE:To realize the miniaturization of an apparatus and the efficient use of an ink sheet, by making the size of a rectangular pattern almost equal to an arbitrary paper size standardized to an A or B system and allowing the long sides of the rectangular pattern to position in the lateral direction of the ink sheet. CONSTITUTION:In the first printing to A3 size paper 39, black ink is transferred to one half of said paper 9 and red ink is transferred to the other half thereof. Next, since colors are applied to a ink sheet in reverse order by printing, the red color ink is transferred to the former half of the paper 9 and the black ink is transferred to the other half thereof. Since the size of the rectangular pattern applied to the ink sheet at every one color by printing is an A4 size, when two rectangular patterns are used in first printing transfer, printing can be applied even to A3 size paper and, when second printing is finished, inks are printed on the former half of the A3 size paper 39 is the order of black and red, and printed on the other half thereof in the order of red and black.
