A novel magnetic printing technique for perpendicular media

Summary form only given. A magnetic printing technique for longitudinal media using a lithographically formed master disk has been proposed and satisfactorily demonstrated (W. Bernard and W. Buslik, 1975; T. Ishida et al., 2001; A. Saito et al., 2001). However, promising printing techniques for perpendicular media have not yet been proposed. We report a satisfactory implementation of a novel magnetic printing technique designed for perpendicular media.
