ABSTRACT:
A thermal printing apparatus is disclosed wherein a first printing operation is performed by transferring a thermo-melting ink of one primary color to a print medium and at least one subsequent printing operation may be performed by transferring a thermo-melting ink of another primary color to the previously transferred ink on the print medium in a superposed fashion, thereby printing of multiple colors is accomplished. The thermal printing apparatus includes a controlling system which determines whether a printing operation to be performed is the first printing operation or a subsequent printing operation and controls a printing speed of a carriage supporting a thermal head according to the determination. For instance, in the case where the thermo-melting ink contains a coloring agent and a binder of waxy substance, the printing speed of the carriage during subsequent printing operations is controlled to be slower than that during the first printing operation.
