With the improvement in a performance of a digital camera, the quality-of-image-dissatisfaction for ordinary persons was lost and the home print by the photograph printer has been realized instead of the further conventional photograph. As a print system for a direct print which does not use PC, the sublimation-dye type thermal transfer system is excellent in terms of high-print-quality, good-picture-preservability, compact-equipment and non-maintenance.
This paper explains temperature compensation technology reproducing the stable density which was not concerned with ambient temperature and heat accumulations in a thermal head and color matching technology of having been suitable for the sublimation-dye printing as technology of especially relation to image quality of a sublimated type photograph printer.
