    Abstract: In an image-forming medium, a sheet of paper is coated with a layer of microcapsules which is composed of a binder material and a plurality of microcapsules filled with dye and uniformly distributed in the binder material. The binder material exhibits a predetermined thermal melting point, and the microcapsules exhibit a pressure-breaking characteristic so as to be squashed and broken under a predetermined pressure when said binder material is thermally softened or melted. When a leuco-pigment-based dye is used, a color developer is substituted for the binder material.

    Abstract: An image-forming system has an image-forming sheet, and a printer for forming an image on the sheet. The sheet has a sheet of paper, and a layer of microcapsule, coated over the paper sheet, that contains a plurality of microcapsules filled with a dye. A shell wall of each microcapsule is composed of a resin exhibiting a pressure/temperature characteristic such that, when each microcapsule is squashed under a predetermined pressure at a predetermined temperature, the dye seeps from the squashed microcapsule. The microcapsules are covered with an infrared absorbent coating that-absorbs infrared rays having a specific wavelength. The printer has a transparent glass plate, and a roller platen elastically pressed against the plate at the predetermined pressure, with the sheet being interposed between the plate and the platen. Further, the printer has an optical scanner for scanning the layer of microcapsules with an infrared beam having the specific wavelength, such that the microcapsules, irradiated by the infrared beam, are heated to the predetermined temperature.

    Abstract: In an image-forming system, an image-forming substrate is used, which has a sheet of paper, and a layer of microcapsules coated over the sheet of paper. The layer of microcapsules includes at least one type of microcapsules filled with an ink. A shell wall of each microcapsule is formed of resin, which exhibits a temperature/pressure characteristic such that each of the microcapsules is squashed under a predetermined pressure when being heated to a predetermined temperature, thereby discharging the dye out of the shell wall. A printer, having a roller platen and a thermal head, forms an image on the substrate. The platen locally exerts the pressure on the microcapsule layer. The thermal head selectively heats a localized area of the microcapsule layer, on which the pressure is exerted by the platen, to a temperature in accordance with an image-information data, such that the microcapsules in the microcapsule layer are selectively squashed and an image on the microcapsule layer.

    Abstract: A producing apparatus of a film with through-holes includes a pair of stretching rollers which sandwich a film therebetween and stretch the film. The producing apparatus further includes a pair of punching rollers which sandwich the film therebetween and punch through-holes in the film. At least one of the punching rollers has projections formed on an outer surface thereof. The stretching rollers and the punching rollers are disposed so that the film stretched by the stretching rollers are fed to the punching rollers.

    Abstract: A plurality of thermal heads for different colors, are disposed in parallel in a line-printing direction, being offset with respect to each other in a transport direction along which an image-forming sheet is moved via a conveyer path. The image forming sheet is a pressure/temperature-sensitive sheet or a temperature-sensitive sheet. The thermal heads are moved in the line-printing direction. Adjacent-opposing ends of adjacent thermal heads are separated in the line-printing direction, and overlap in the transport direction. The thermal heads are controlled so as to simultaneously generate image-pixels on the image-forming sheet. The printing speed is high due to a plurality of colors being simultaneously printed. The thermal heads are used as part of pressure applying unit. The pressure applying unit is provided for selectively applying predetermined pressure to the micro-capsules, when the image-forming sheet is a pressure/temperature-sensitive sheet. The thermal heads can also be applied to a high-speed printing of a mono-chrome image on the temperature-sensitive sheet.
