ABSTRACT:
In a thermal recording apparatus, a thermal head heats an ink sheet to transfer ink to a recording medium such as paper. Even when recording on a low-smoothness plain paper, an image free of voids can be obtained. The apparatus is equipped with a mechanism for generating an electric field between the ink sheet and the recording medium. Due to this electric field, the ink particles liquified by the thermal head fly and are transferred to the recording medium.
