Abstract

A duplication printer has a movable base slidably accommodated in a frame case and provided with a cushioning layer on which a relief plate bearing a relief pattern on top is placed, and then, on the relief plate, are stacked successively from bottom to top a paper sheet, a transfer sheet having a lower surface of an ink layer facing the paper sheet, a tacky sheet with a tacky layer on its upper surface, and a display sheet having light transmitting characteristic. The movable base is positioned within the frame case and is drawn outwardly from the frame case, a pressure bar passes relatively over the stack of sheets, whereupon the relief pattern is printed via the ink layer on the paper sheet and, simultaneously, the image of the pattern is displayed on the display sheet. Thus, the pattern on the display sheet can be observed by an operator without removing the paper sheet from the printer.
