Abstract
Multi-layered recording using the high resolution performance of laser dye transfer is proposed to surpass the image quality of existing hardcopy technologies. In this recording method, the dye images are distributed in multi receiving layers. As a result of experiment, it is indicated that the optical density range of tone image is extended by increasing the number of receiving layers. For color printing, the image quality is greatly improved by transferring each color dye to each receiving layer successively. Furthermore, the pyramidal image sample shows a possibility of expression of solid feeling. By integrating these techniques of multi-layered recording, it is considered that a reality of hardcopy goes to next stage.
