Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance light fastness by forming a release layer containing a stabilizer of a dye to the surface of a dye receiving layer. CONSTITUTION:A release layer containing a stabilizer of a dye is formed to the surface of a dye receiving layer. As a resin for forming the dye receiving layer, a polyolefin resin, a halogenated polymer, a vinyl polymer, a polyester resin, a polystyrene resin, a polyamide resin, a copolymer resin of olefin and other vinyl monomer, a cellulose resin or polycarbonate are designated. As a release agent, silicone oil, a phosphate ester surfactant, a fluorine type surfactant are designated and, as the stabilizer, an oxidation inhibitor, an ultraviolet absorber and a light stabilizer are designated. The release layer is obtained by dissolving the release agent, the stabilizer and a binder in an org. solvent or dispersing them in an org. solvent or water to prepare a solution or dispersion and applying said solution or dispersion to the receiving layer by a film forming means and drying the coating layer. By this method, an image excellent in light fastness and discoloration/fading resistance can be obtained.

Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an image-receiving sheet used in a thermal transfer method using a sublimable dye (heat-transferable dye), and more specifically, an image-receiving sheet having excellent light resistance and resistance to darkening and fading. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet capable of forming a transferred image (prior art). Conventionally, various thermal transfer methods are known, but among them, a sublimable dye is used as a recording agent, and this is applied to a polyester film or the like. A method of forming various full-color images on an image-receiving sheet-F in which a dye-receiving layer is formed on a transfer material that can be dyed with a sublimable dye, such as paper or plastic film, by supporting it on a base sheet to form a thermal transfer sheet. is proposed.

(The problem that the invention is trying to solve) However,
Since the resulting images are formed from dyes, they generally have inferior light fastness compared to images using pigments, and there is a problem that the images fade or change color quickly when exposed to direct sunlight. In addition, if there is no direct light, for example, there is a problem that the color changes and fades (dark change and fade) even when indoors, in a file, or when bound in a book. These problems of light fastness and darkening and fading can be improved to a certain degree by adding an ultraviolet absorber or an antioxidant to the dye-receiving layer of the transfer material.

However, in the conventional technology, antioxidants and the like are uniformly distributed throughout the dye-receiving layer, whereas most of the transferred dye is present near the surface of the receptor layer, There is a problem in that the protection effect of the dye by such agents is insufficient to effectively prevent discoloration and fading, and there is a need for a technique that can effectively protect the transferred dye by using an oxidation co-IF agent or the like.

Recording was performed using a thermal head from the back side of the thermal transfer sheet with a printing energy of 90 mJ/m♂, and the results shown in Table 1 below were obtained. In addition, the photofading rate of printing is J
This is the fading rate under IS grade 3 irradiation conditions, and the darkness fading rate was compared by the fading rate after the recorded image was kept in a dry state at 70° C. for 24 hours. The fading rate is a value calculated using the following formula.
