ABSTRACT:
A color video printer for producing a full-colored image on a dye-absorbing receiver sheet by thermally transferring three different colored dyes of Y, M and C applied to a ribbon in response to video signals. The printer includes a supply guide chute (102) for supplying the receiver sheet, a discharge guide chute (104) for discharging the receiver sheet, a platen drum (20) rotatable in a single direction, a pair of holder members (60) respectively mounted on both ends of the platen drum, a pair of holders (61) respectively attached to the pair of holder members for clamping the leading end of the receiver sheet to the peripheral surface of the platen drum, a head member (40) having a first cam follower at one end and a thermal print head at the other end, a pair of link structures (50, 70, 80 and 90) with a second cam follower for operating the pair of holder members so as to cause the pair of holders to temporarily protrude from the peripheral surface of the platen drum to hold the leading end of the receiver sheet, and a cam gear (30) with a first cam groove engaged by the second cam follower of the pair of link structures.
