DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a receipt paper for a printer such as an ECR according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a printer receipt sheet wound in a roll shape. The receipt paper 1 is wound in a roll shape around a coreless or hollow bobbin 2 and can be attached to a printer such as an ECR. On the front surface of the receipt paper 1, there is a margin for printing the details of the purchased product, and the product name and price of the product purchased by the customer are printed and handed to the customer.

FIG. 2 shows an example of printing on the back side of a receipt sheet. An advertisement information column 4 is provided on the back surface 3 of the receipt paper 1 and printed with colors and designs that draw the customer's attention when handed to the customer. A value information column 5 is provided in the advertisement information column 4,
In the predetermined position 6, service information such as a discount coupon, a winning lottery, or a coupon with a predetermined probability is printed by characters, figures, symbols, pictures, or the like. The advertisement information column 4 is one unit, and a plurality of advertisement information columns 4 are continuously printed at a predetermined pitch.

In order to prevent the receipt cut in the middle of the advertisement information column 4 from being handed to the customer, the advertisement information column 4
A pitch recognition mark 7 for recognizing the pitch of the advertisement information column 4 printed on the received receipt paper 1 is provided between the advertisement information column 4 and the advertisement information column 4. The pitch recognition mark 7 is a circular black mark provided on the right end of the back surface of the receipt paper 1 and has a different reflectance from other portions. Therefore, a light beam is emitted from this light source from a light source, and a change in the reflectance is detected by an optical sensor such as a phototransistor to detect the pitch recognition mark 7. Then, a detection signal is sent to a printer such as an ECR or the like, and the receipt paper 1 is
Is prevented from being cut in the middle. The pitch recognition mark 7 can achieve the same purpose even if the hole has a small diameter.

When the advertisement information column 4 is printed at a predetermined pitch as in the embodiment, the length is stored in advance, and the boundary of the advertisement information column 4 is recognized from the driving amount of the transport device. You can also. Thereby, a receipt including at least one unit of the advertisement information column 4 can be handed to the customer.

The service information printed at the predetermined position 6 is
It must be unreadable before being rubbed with a piece of metal. The service information is printed and applied to the white receipt paper 1 with the special white ink, but if it is printed as it is, the service information may be illegible.

In order to prevent this and make the service information printed thereon difficult to see, the predetermined position 6 in the value information column 5 has a background pattern of 150 lines, 35%
Print the yellow dot of the. Further, service information such as characters, figures, symbols or patterns is printed using white special ink. At this time, the advertisement information column 4 is also printed in color using multicolor ink.

Table 1 shows the components of the white special ink used in this example. This white special ink is characterized by containing titanium oxide as a component of a white pigment.

[Table 1] White pigment (oiliness) 20 to 60% Photopolymerization initiator 2 to 10% Prepolymer 10 to 50% Polyfunctional acrylic monomer 20 to 50% Auxiliaries, additives 4 to 5% At high speed When multicolor printing is performed, a printing ink called a so-called UV ink containing a photopolymerization initiator, a prepolymer and a polyfunctional acrylic monomer is widely and generally used. In the embodiment, the printing of the advertisement information column 4 is performed by sequentially applying the ink of each color to the back surface 3 of the receipt paper 1. At this time, in the step of applying the printing ink of the next color, if the ink applied in the previous step is not dried, the printing surface may be stained. In addition, when we take up in roll form
The ink is transferred to the surface of the receipt paper 1. In order to prevent this, ultraviolet rays are radiated by a UV light installed in the printing press to dry the printing ink including the special ink in the previous process, and the special ink is cured before moving to the next process. Then, after printing of this portion was completed, it was wound around the bobbin 2, and this series of operations was repeated to obtain a finished product.

Since this special ink contains a photopolymerization initiator, when it is irradiated with ultraviolet rays, titanium oxide which is a component of the white pigment is hardened. Since heat is generated at the time of ultraviolet irradiation, auxiliaries and additives are mixed in the ink to maintain heat resistance. These auxiliaries and additives also have a role of adjusting the hardness of the ink itself during printing. Also, since this special ink contains a photopolymerization initiator, prepolymer and polyfunctional acrylic monomer,
With these resin components, a film is formed on the surface of the special ink after curing is started. The hardness of this film is higher than metals such as aluminum and copper.

When the predetermined position 6 of the printed value information column 5 is rubbed with a metal piece such as a coin, aluminum or copper contained in the coin or the like is shaved by a film having higher hardness. Then, a very fine metal band or metal powder is generated and adheres to the film formed on the ink surface. Since the portion where the special ink is printed and applied is white, characters, figures, symbols, patterns, and the like appear as if they were colored by a fine metal band or metal powder of a color close to black. Since this metal reaction reacts with a metal having a hardness lower than that of titanium oxide, the softer the metal rubbing the value information column 5, the clearer the print appears.

The value information column 5 is provided as a means for sales promotion activities and the like, and can be used for prizes, lotteries, games and the like. What is printed here is "hit", "1"
Anything, such as letters, numbers, symbols, or pictures such as "E."

The contents printed in the advertisement information column 4 include, in particular,
It is not limited. For example, this receipt is for a prize, and if a predetermined position 6 of the value information column 5 is rubbed with a coin or the like, there is a possibility that a prize may be obtained depending on a character, a number, a symbol, a picture, etc. appearing in this campaign. A period, a promotion advertisement of a promotion product, or the like may be printed.

[0030]

As described above, according to the present invention, a value information field is provided on the back of a receipt to be handed to a customer, and the customer can participate in a prize, a lottery, etc. The sales promotion effect can be improved.

Also, unlike the conventional silver ink, the thickness of the receipt paper is not substantially increased even when printing and applying it to the value information column on the back side of the receipt paper using white special ink. E can be rolled up
Mounting to a printer such as a CR is easy.

Further, by recognizing the pitch of the continuously printed advertisement information column, the receipt is not cut off in the middle of the advertisement information column, and the customer includes at least one complete advertisement information column. You can receive a receipt.
