Abstract:
A magnetic transfer method, comprising the steps of:preparing a master medium bearing information signals; preparing a slave medium; allowing said master medium and said slave medium to be brought into close contact with each other; and applying magnetic field to said master medium and said slave medium, thus magnetically transferring the information signals of said master medium said slave medium, wherein a material having an elastic property is mounted on one surface of said slave medium opposite to the other surface thereof contacting said master medium, and a pressing support member is mounted on said material, said elastic property being such as to deform in accordance with a surface shape of said slave medium when a contact pressure is applied to said material and to restore to an original surface shape thereof when said slave medium is released from said master medium, wherein a surface of the material contacting the slave medium has a convex shape; wherein the surface of the material contacting the slave medium has the convex shape prior to contact pressure being applied to the material.
