Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an image receiving medium having an excellent releasability and a high dye receiving layer transparency and high image quality by providing a dye receiving layer of polyester resin, an isocyanate compound and a polyether modified silicone oil as main components. CONSTITUTION:A dye receiving layer B is provided on an image receiving base A. Said layer B consists of polyester resin, an isocyanate compound and a polyether modified silicone oil. Alternatively a dye image receiving layer of PVC resin, an isocyanate compound and a polyether modified silicone oil as main components with activated hydrogen is provided on the image receiving base A. A thermally sublimable dye sublimates or diffuses from a dye transfer layer 4 due to heating by a thermal head 1 and then is transferred to the dye receiving layer B. The sublimable dye diffuses in and colors a dye colorable resin which forms the dye receiving layer B. As the isocyanate compound is contained in the dye receiving layer B, a high adhesive strength is maintained between the image receiving base A and the dye receiving layer B. Thus the dye receiving layer B is no longer peeled apart from the image receiving base A after recording.

[Prior Art] A sublimation type thermal transfer recording method using a thermal transfer recording medium having a transfer layer containing a thermally sublimable dye and an image receiving medium receiving the dye sublimated by thermal printing from the back side of the recording medium is an excellent method. It has been attracting attention in recent years as it is capable of recording halftones and provides full-color hard copies that are similar to color photographs.

Conventionally, the image-receiving medium used in this recording method consists of a dye-receiving layer made of a thermoplastic polyester resin, etc., which exhibits strong dyeability against heat-sublimable dyes, and a release agent, on a substrate (synthetic paper, etc.). The formed one is used. but,
Since polyester resin has low heat resistance, it has the disadvantage that it fuses with the transfer recording medium (color sheet) during recording.

Therefore, in order to improve the releasability (peelability) between the dye-receiving layer and the transfer recording medium, the dye-receiving layer contains a release agent, but if the release agent content is small, the transfer recording medium cannot be used as a transfer recording medium. Unless a material with extremely strong adhesion between the substrate and the dye transfer contributing layer is used, the transfer layer will be peeled off toward the image receiving medium after recording. Conversely, if the amount of release agent in the dye-receiving layer is increased to the extent that the peelability between the transfer recording medium and the image-receiving medium is sufficiently improved, the adhesive force between the substrate in the image-receiving medium and the dye-receiving layer will increase. As a result, the receptor layer is peeled off toward the transfer recording medium after recording. Furthermore, since the release agent used generally has low compatibility with the resin in the dye-receiving layer, increasing the amount of the release agent has the disadvantage that the transparency of the dye-receiving layer itself decreases. High transparency of the dye-receiving layer is an essential condition for transmission-type image-receiving media used as transmission originals such as overhead projectors, but it is also an essential condition for reflective-type image-receiving media for observing reflected images. The higher the quality, the clearer the image.

In FIG. 1, the image-receiving medium of the present invention is comprised of an image-receiving substrate A1 and a dye-receiving layer B. In FIG. That is, the image-receiving medium of the present invention has, as its first aspect, a structure in which an image-receiving substrate A is provided with a dye-receiving layer B whose main components are a polyester resin, an isocyanate compound, and a polyether-modified silicone oil. In a second embodiment, a dye image-receiving layer whose main components are a polyvinyl chloride resin containing active hydrogen, an isocyanate compound, and a polyether-modified silicone oil is provided on the image-receiving substrate A. .

Due to the heating from the thermal head 1, the heat sublimable dye is sublimated and diffused from the dye transfer layer 4 of the sublimation transfer recording medium,
The sublimated dye is transferred to the dye-receiving layer B of the image-receiving medium. The sublimation dye transferred to the image-receiving medium diffuses into the dye-staining resin forming the dye-receiving layer B and dyes the medium.

As mentioned above, in conventional image-receiving media, it is known that a release agent such as silicone oil is included in the dye-receiving layer B in order to prevent heat fusion during recording and improve releasability after recording. However, when the release agent content is low,
The effect of improving peelability is insufficient, and the dye transfer layer 4 is peeled off to the dye receiving layer B side after recording. However, when the content of the release agent is increased to improve releasability, the adhesive force between the image-receiving substrate A and the dye-receiving layer B becomes weaker.
After recording, a phenomenon occurs in which the dye receiving layer B is peeled off to the dye transfer layer 4 side.

[Effects of the Invention] The image-receiving medium for sublimation type thermal transfer of the present invention has a dye-receiving layer mainly composed of a polyester resin or a polyvinyl chloride resin having active hydrogen, an isocyanate compound, and a polyether-modified silicone oil on a substrate. Because of this structure, the dye transfer layer is not peeled off to the dye receiving layer side after recording, and the dye receiving layer is not peeled off to the dye transfer layer side, and the connection between the dye receiving layer and the dye transfer layer is prevented. The separation property between the image receiving medium and the transfer recording medium is good, and the image quality is also excellent because the image density is high and the transparency of the dye receiving layer is high (low haze value).

In addition, since polyether-modified silicone oil is used, the surface of the receptor layer does not slip excessively, and it also has an antistatic effect, which allows for excellent transportability of the image-receiving medium.Furthermore, it is easy to write on the surface of the receptor layer. Are better.
