Disclosed herein is a non-contact information recording medium for ink-jet recording, on and from which information can be recorded and read in a non-contact state from the outside, comprising an electronic information storing circuit part and an image recording part, wherein at least part of the electronic information storing circuit part has an ink/circuit-part barrier structure by which the circuit part undergoes no circuit trouble caused by an ink applied to the image recording part.

Non-contact information recording medium for ink-jet recording and image forming process

Disclosed herein is an image-transfer medium, comprising an ink vehicle-absorbing layer, which is subjected to a release treatment, and coloring material-retaining layer.

Image-transfer medium, production process of transferred image, and cloth with transferred image formed thereon

An ink jet cartridge includes a first chamber for accommodating a negative pressure producing material and provided with air communication part for communication with ambient air, wherein a part of the negative pressure producing material does not contain ink adjacent the air communication part; a second chamber which is substantially closed except for a fine communication part for communication with the first chamber at a position away from the air communication part, wherein the second chamber directly accommodates the ink to be supplied to the first chamber.

Ink jet cartridge, ink jet head and printer

Disclosed herein is an image-transfer medium for ink-jet printing, including a base material, and a releasing layer and a transfer layer, both, provided on the base material, wherein the transfer layer includes fine particles of a thermoplastic resin, a thermoplastic resin binder, inorganic fine particles and a coupling agent.

Image-transfer medium for ink-jet printing, production process of transferred image, and cloth with transferred image formed thereon

Disclosed herein is an image-transfer medium for ink-jet printing, comprising a base material, and a releasing layer and a transfer layer, both, provided on the base material, wherein the transfer layer comprises fine particles of a water-insoluble thermoplastic resin, a water-insoluble thermoplastic resin binder and a crosslinking agent coated with a thermoplastic resin.

An ink container for containing ink to be supplied to an ink jet head, includes fibrous material; an ink discharge port for discharging the ink to the ink jet head; a portion for containing the fibrous material at least adjacent the ink discharge port; wherein the fibrous material is deformed within a degree of elasticity, forming a plurality of intersections in different directions, and contained in the containing portion.

Ink container, ink jet head having ink container, ink jet apparatus having ink container, and manufacturing method for ink container

An ink container for supplying ink out of a main body thereof through an ink supply port. The container includes an ink retaining material for retaining the ink in the main body of the container, a pressure adjusting device for adjusting a pressure in the main body, and a valve member disposed in the ink supply port. The valve includes a substantially non-elastic plug member for plugging the ink supply port and an elastic member for urging the substantially non-elastic member toward the ink supply port.

Ink container and ink jet cartridge

An image-transfer medium for ink-jet printing, comprising a releasing layer and a transfer layer containing fine particles of a thermoplastic resin and a polymeric binder, provided on a base material, wherein the polymeric binder is a thermoplastic resin.

Image-transfer medium for ink-jet printing, transfer printing process using the same, and transfer printing cloth

A sealing method for an ink container having a front side, a rear side, a bottom side, an upper side and two lateral sides, and having an ink supply port for supplying ink to a recording head portion and an air vent for fluid communication between an inside of the ink container and ambience. A seal member is mounted on a first one of the sides and on a second one of the sides continuous with the first side, the seal member having a width larger than a width of the first and second sides. A portion of the seal member is inwardly folded beyond the width of the first side. A portion of the seal member is outwardly folded beyond the width of the second side. The inwardly folded portion of the seal member is heat-sealed to a side of a packaging bladder for accommodating the ink container.

Sealing method for ink cartridge

An ink jet cartridge comprises an ink jet head unit for discharging the ink, and an ink tank unit having an ink supply port for supplying the ink to the ink jet head unit. The ink tank unit has a partition portion for partitioning between an ink storing portion for storing the ink to be supplied to the ink jet head unit and a negative pressure generating member receiving portion having a negative pressure generating member. The ink supply port is provided on the negative pressure generating member receiving portion. The partition portion has an ink communicating portion at an end portion of the partitioning portion on the side of the negative pressure generating member receiving portion where the ink supply port is provided, and makes contiguous the ink storing portion and the negative pressure generating member receiving portion in a movement direction of the ink tank unit when discharging the ink.

Partitioned ink tank

An ink jet cartridge includes an ink jet head unit for discharging the ink, and an ink tank unit having an ink supply port for supplying the ink to the ink jet head unit. The ink tank unit has a partition portion for partitioning between an ink storing portion for storing the ink to be supplied to the ink jet head unit and a negative pressure generating member receiving portion having a negative pressure generating member. The ink supply port is provided on the negative pressure generating member receiving portion. The portion has an ink communicating portion at an end portion of the partitioning portion on the side of the negative pressure generating member receiving portion where the ink supply port is provided, and makes contiguous the ink storing portion and the negative pressure generating member receiving portion in a movement direction of the ink tank unit when discharging the ink.

Ink tank unit, an ink jet cartridge having said ink tank unit and an ink jet apparatus having said ink jet cartridge

Disclosed herein is a transfer medium for ink-jet recording adapted to form an image on a transfer layer thereof and then heat the transfer layer from the side of a support of the transfer medium to transfer the transfer layer to a transfer-printing medium, wherein an index is provided on the support.
