  • Publication number: 20180376577
    Abstract: It is an objective of the present invention to improve coatability/printability and adhesiveness of a fluorine-based resin film to a sintered film of ink. A fluorine-based resin film 9 is passed through a treatment space 1a under near atmospheric pressure between electrodes 11, 21. A process gas composed of an inert gas is supplied to the treatment space 1a. Voltage is applied to between the electrodes to generate electric discharge in the treatment space 1a. A treatment surface 9a is heated to a temperature that is not higher than a continuous use temperature and not lower than a temperature lower than the continuous use temperature by 100 degrees C. A volume concentration of oxygen in the treatment space 1a is not higher than 1000 ppm.
