Abstract :
A high-quality video printer for home use has been developed using a thermal dye transfer (TDT) method. By using new ink, a maximum density of over 2.3 and a wide color-reproduction range have been realized. Precisely controlling the print density, τ data at any temperature are calculated by microcomputer using key data. A combination print system which cooperates with the VCR in order to catch the best shot from continuous moving pictures of the VCR has been developed
