There are disclosed a method of delivering pictorial image data per each color obtained by applying color resolution to a manuscript using a color scanner to a sublimation transfer printer to effect a transfer from a sublimation transfer sheet to an image-receiving sheet, thus to make a hard copy of a color image, and a device for implementing such a method. The image data comprises three primary data of cyan, magenta and yellow and black data calculated from the three primary data. Data obtained by applying color and gradation corrections to the four color data are delivered to the sublimation transfer printer. The sublimation transfer sheet is provided with a transfer ink layer of four colors of cyan, magenta, yellow and black. By the operation of the sublimation transfer printer, the ink of each transfer ink layer is transferred onto the image-receiving paper, thus to make a hard copy.

Multicolor sublimation type thermal recording method including color and

An apparatus prepares a mounting sheet of originals upon which are drawn the original positioning or arrangement lines and an area to be trimmed. When originals are pasted on the sheet and scanned by a scanner, the picture data of an original is read out. In this apparatus, a magnification, a position and a direction of an original can be entered or inputted on a data tablet and in response to the input data, a mounting sheet is automatically prepared. An operator pastes a original along the original positioning or arrangement lines on the mounting sheet and a picture in the trimmed area is scanned. Furthermore, the apparatus automatically selects an optimum drum of a scanner depending upon the magnification of each original.

Apparatus for preparing mounting sheet of originals to be scanned

This system relates to a technology for inputting picture data from a manuscript using a layout scanner. When inputting picture data from the manuscript, a layout sheet is set on position data input device such as a data tablet to obtain a specified point on the layout sheet and position data including a trimming range. The position data is delivered to a display together with the picture data. Displaying the picture data and the position data superimposed with each other, the position data is visually confirmed and a necessary correction is made. Another method is to record position data into a recording medium e.g. floppy disk etc. to allow a layout scanner to output the picture data by applying an exposure process thereto on the basis of the recorded contents of the recording medium.
