The present invention relates to a printing method, a printing apparatus, and a printed document by which an ink offset can be prevented while securing a sufficient adhesion force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Ink is applied so that, when ink applied to a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet cures, a convex section of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer exposed out of the curried ink, thereby printing an image.

Printing method, printing apparatus, and printed document

A contrast base is pushed by the printing head K, when the printing head K is mounted onto the carriage . Thereby, the connection face of the flexible carriage wiring together with the contact base follows the connection face of the of the flexible head wiring by swinging movement around the touching point in the directions of arrows X, X&prime;, Y, Y&prime;, Z, and Z&prime;. Therefore, the connection face slants to follow any slanting of the connection face . Consequently, the two connection faces come close together over the entire faces to give precise electric connection of the electric connection points between the two connection faces.

Ink-jet image forming device

There is disclosed an ink jet cartridge comprising an ink jet head including a plurality of arranged discharge ports for discharging ink, an element substrate provided with a plurality of energy generating elements for generating an energy to discharge the ink, and a base plate for supporting the element substrate; an ink tank holding member for holding an ink tank for containing the ink; and a head holding member for connecting the ink tank holding member to the ink jet head, and by holding the ink jet head by the ink tank holding member and the head holding member, the ink jet head is elastically supported in a head sandwiching direction, so that the positioning of the ink jet head can easily be performed with respect to the ink jet cartridge with a high precision, the high quality recording is possible, and the ink jet apparatus using this cartridge can be realized with a simple construction and at a low cost.
