Abstract:
A method for producing sheet rolls by winding a heat transfer recording sheet, obtained by forming a transfer ink layer on one surface of a base, around outer peripheries of a plurality of cores, respectively, the method comprising the steps of:supplying a web heat transfer recording sheet; cutting a portion corresponding to a region between two adjacent sheet rolls in the web heat transfer recording sheet to form cut ends thereof; interposing a non-adhesive waste sheet and a pair of adhesive tapes attached to both ends of the waste sheet between the cut ends of the web heat transfer recording sheet, each adhesive tape having an adhesive portion facing the waste sheet, a portion exposed to the outside and a portion attached to the corresponding cut ends of the web heat transfer recording sheet; winding, in a winding portion of a winding apparatus, the heat transfer recording sheet around the outer periphery of one of the cores to form one of the sheet rolls; holding, in a discharging portion of the winding apparatus, the sheet roll thus formed, whereby the waste sheet is positioned between the winding apparatus and discharging portion; and cutting the waste sheet positioned between the winding portion and the discharging portion.
