Abstract:
A magnetic transfer method, comprising the steps of:preparing a master medium bearing information signals; preparing a flexible slave medium; allowing said master medium and said flexible slave medium to be brought into close contact with each other; and applying magnetic field to said master medium and said flexible slave medium, thus magnetically transferring the information signals of said master medium said flexible slave medium, wherein a material having an elastic property is mounted on one surface of said flexible 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 flexible slave medium when a contact pressure is applied to said material and to restore to an original surface shape thereof when said flexible slave medium is released from said master medium, wherein a Young's modulus of said material having the elastic property is set in a range from 5.0Ã—10âˆ’5 Pa to less than 3.0Ã—1010 Pa.
