ABSTRACT:
When the support member and cooling member of the thermal head are made of aluminum, and the head substrate is made of ceramic, the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion of the two is very large, and the aluminum is expanded in use, and the gap to the adjacent head substrate is increased to cause white stripes. In the invention, the materials are properly selected so that the coefficient of thermal expansion of the support member and cooling member and the coefficient of thermal expansion of the head substrate may be close to each other, and the head substrate is adhered to the cooling plate with a soft adhesive. Therefore, if a difference is caused in the amount of expansion between the head substrate and the cooling plate during use, it is suppressed to such an extent as to be absorbed by the elastic deformation of the soft adhesive.
