Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform recording reduced in the dependence on paper quality by independently controlling the running speed of a dye transfer material and that of a recording intermediate material to form an image on the surface of a dyeing layer by dye thermal transfer recording. CONSTITUTION:In a dye transfer material 1, a heat-resistance slide layer 13 is formed to the rear of a base material 11 and a colorant layer 12 is provided to the surface thereof and, in a recording intermediate material, a release layer 22 and a dyeing layer 23 are laminated to a base material 21. The dye transfer material 1 and the recording intermediate material 2 are held between a thermal head 3 and a drum 4 or a small platen 4' and dye thermal transfer recording is performed. At this time, the running speed of the dye transfer material I and that of the recording intermediate material 2 are independently controlled so as to respectively become v1, v2. The running speed of the dye transfer material 1 and that of the recording intermediate material 2 are controlled by independent control systems 9, 9' and 10, 10' so as to generally become v1=v2 and it is prevented that large shearing stress is applied between the release layer 22 of the recording intermediate material 2 and the layer formed thereon. By this method, a high-grade victorial image can be realized without selecting an image receiving material.

The dye thermal transfer recording method is the only compact, easy-to-maintain, and instant recording technology that can provide high-quality images comparable to color photography. This is done by layering a transfer body with a coloring layer containing a sublimable dye on a thin film base material and an image receptor with a dye layer on a thick film base material such as synthetic paper, and using a thermal recording head. A sublimable dye is transferred to a dyeing layer to record a mixed color image of dye molecules.

A mixed color image created by the dye molecules recorded on the dyed layer on the release layer of the recording intermediate is peeled off at the interface with the release layer by heat and/or pressure and transferred onto the image receptor. To achieve this, it is necessary to have stable recording and stable transfer to an image receptor after recording.

Since the interface between the release layer and the forming layer above it is fixed in a quasi-stable state, it is necessary to independently control the running of the recording intermediate and transfer body for stable recording. By softening the shear stress acting on this interface during recording, peeling at the interface can be prevented. At the same time, it is necessary to reduce the coefficient of friction between the recording intermediate and the transfer member. This can be achieved by providing a slippery layer on the coloring material layer of the transfer body. It is also possible to impart lubricity to the dyed layer of the recording intermediate.

The recording intermediate 2 has a release layer 22 and a dyeing layer 23 laminated on a base material 21 . The base material 21 used is the same as the base material 11 of the dye transfer body. The release layer 22 is made of a thin layer of silicone resin, fluororesin, or the like, or a general resin mixed with and dispersed with a release agent, or a resin reacted with a release agent. The silicone resin is preferably one that can be formed into a film by addition polymerization or condensation polymerization for coating or release paper.The fluororesin is polytetrafluoroethylene, tetrafluoroethylene, etc.
Perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymers, vinylidene fluoride/hexafluoropropylene rubber materials, various fluorine-containing resins, etc. are effective. Examples of mold release agents added to the resin include various silicone-based lubricants, fluorine-based surfactants, waxes such as paraffin and polyethylene, higher aliphatic alcohols, higher fatty acid amides, and esters.

There are more than one type of reactive silicone oil reactants (eg, epoxy-modified and carboxyl or amino-modified reactants, etc.). It may also be a reaction type of resin and lubricant, for example, water-soluble polysiloxane grafted acrylic resin B'= which is obtained by graft polymerizing polysiloxane to acrylic resin.

3 may be composed almost entirely of resin.The dyeing layer needs to be transferred to the image receptor 6 in the final process after recording.The glass transition temperature Tg of the dyeing resin is low as long as it does not cause recording problems. Saturated polyester resins, polyacetal resins, acrylic resins, urethane resins, polyamide resins, and composite systems thereof are useful (particularly, it is preferable that the Tg of these is 80°C or less. For lowering and selective transfer of the dyed layer to the image receptor, it is often effective to add the above-mentioned lubricating agent or mold release agent.1.% Siloxane methacrylate, especially at the terminal or side chain.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the recording intermediate. An adhesive layer 24 is provided between the release layer 22 and the dyeing layer 23. This is to prevent separation at this interface due to the shear stress that acts on the interface between 22 and 23 during recording. The dyeing layer generally contains a release agent or a lubricant in many cases, so in that case the effect of the adhesive layer 24 is particularly poor.
Resins used for the dyeing layer, such as saturated polyester resins and polyacetal resins, are effective for this adhesive. especially

A coating consisting of 20 parts by weight of toluene was formed to a thickness of 1 micron using a vacuum coater. Polyvinyl butyral resin (BL-3, manufactured by Block Chemical Co., Ltd.) was applied as an adhesive layer on top of this release layer. Weight clothing: A coating containing 50 parts by weight of toluene is coated with a bar coater to a thickness of 1 micron.On top of this is a dyeing layer of 6 parts by weight of polyvinyl butyral resin (BL-8), which is made of acrylic silicone (silicon ) 0.2 parts by weight of resin (F-6A, manufactured by Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd.) 0.004 parts by weight of di-n-butyltin dilaurate A paint consisting of 13 parts by weight each of toluene and 2-butanone was coated with a bar coater to a thickness of 2 microns. Recording was carried out under the following conditions using a mechanism in which the dye transfer body 1 and recording intermediate 2 described above run independently and a heat roller mechanism that continuously transfers the dyed layer to the image receptor. Recording head: Rad line recording speed to line type thermal: 8ms Recording pulse width: 0-4m5 Maximum recording energy: 6.5J/cm2 Heat roller: Temperature: 180℃ 2 Feeding speed: 10mm/sheet Pressure 10K
g The image obtained on the bond paper as described above was a high-quality Victorian image with a maximum reflection density of 1.8 or more. High-quality Victorian images that could only be obtained on paper can be achieved regardless of the image receptor.Recording can be performed with less paper quality dependence on bond paper or plain paper.Especially useful for high-speed recording, that is, high-temperature recording. Stable recording is possible without peeling between the release layer and dyeing layer of the recording intermediate, and
