| 400237000 | Ribbon, per se | 6 |
| 20080226373 | Lettering tape, tape cassette, tape printer - A lettering tape is formed having an integrated layered configuration in which a base layer, an ink layer, and an adhesive layer exhibiting adhesive properties when heated are sequentially stacked. When the lettering tape is selectively heated by a thermal head to form an image thereon, the heated portion of the ink layer onto which an image has been formed is adhered to the heated portion of the adhesive layer and simultaneously, the heated portion of the adhesive layer exhibits self-adhesive properties, thereby enabling transfer to the target transfer body. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20120014733 | METHOD OF INCREASING COLORING STABILITY OF A RIBBON AND PRINTING DEVICE THEREOF - A method of increasing coloring stability of a ribbon includes forming a dye receiving layer on a first region of the ribbon, forming a plurality of dye regions on a second region of the ribbon, receiving target image data, conveying a print medium, transferring the dye receiving layer of the ribbon onto the print medium when conveying the print medium, and transferring the plurality of dye regions of the ribbon onto the print medium according to the target image data after the dye receiving layer of the ribbon is printed onto the print medium. | 01-19-2012 |
| 400240000 | Including differently pigmented fields | 2 |
| 20090245910 | Ink ribbon and printer - An ink ribbon includes: a base film having lengthwise shape; a plurality of ink coat regions formed on the base film side by side at intervals of a predetermined distance in the lengthwise direction of the base film; and sensor marks formed on the base film between the ink coat regions to be used to detect the beginning of each of the ink coat regions. The plurality of ink coat regions are constituted by repetition of the regions in a predetermined number of different colors, and the sensor marks are constituted of ink coats of colors selected from the predetermined number of different colors. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20140086660 | INK RIBBON AND INK RIBBON ROLL - The disclosure discloses an ink ribbon having a dimension in a thickness direction, comprising a ribbon base layer, a first layer, and a second layer. The first layer is disposed adjacent to one side of the ribbon base layer in the thickness direction, and includes a solubility parameter value greater than or equal to 7 and less than or equal to 9, and is configured to separate from the ribbon base layer. The second layer is disposed on the one side of the first layer in the thickness direction, and includes a solubility parameter value greater than or equal to 7 and less than or equal to 9, and is configured to stick to a transfer target. | 03-27-2014 |
| 400241000 | Particular ribbon material | 2 |
| 20090129844 | Print Tape and a Print Cassette - An object of the disclosure is to provide a print cassette for producing a print tape comprising a structure which can avoid a bad effect on a feeding performance of a film tape in the print cassette and handling of a print tape when stuck to an adherend even when an adopted to-be-printed medium is a thin-film. A print tape | 05-21-2009 |
| 20140270884 | Thermal Transfer and Dye Sublimation Ribbons Utilizing Plasma Treatment to Replace Back Coat - A method providing for the replacement of the traditional back coat of thermal transfer ribbons or dye sublimation ribbons uses a plasma treatment to chemically modify the print head side surface of a PET substrate of the ribbons. The chemically modified surface of the PET substrate provides the necessary heat resistance and coefficient of friction to allow the thermal print head to function properly without burn-through of the PET carrier film and without sticking to the thermal print head. Accordingly, plasma treated thermal transfer ribbons or dye sublimation ribbons can be made without a back coat. | 09-18-2014 |
