問題がある。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The thermal transfer technology described above has the advantage of being able to easily form any image, but the transfer sheet is made of a material that can be dyed with heat-transferable dyes, such as polyester. On the other hand, the shape of the object to be transferred is limited to a sheet-like object such as a film or a sheet. For example, it is impossible to form an image on wood, metal, glass, ceramics, etc. Furthermore, even if plastics such as polyester are used, their image forming surface may be curved, have an uneven shape, or may even be flat, resulting in three-dimensional molded products other than sheet-like products. has the problem that it is difficult to form images.

Depending on the adhesion method, it can be freely attached to glass, metal, wood, or even plastic materials that are difficult to dye with heat-transferable dyes. In addition, since such an image has sufficient flexibility, it is possible to sufficiently follow the surface shape of the object to be decorated, even if the surface shape is a curved surface or an uneven surface. The attachment is not limited by the surface shape of the article, and since the surface of the image attached in this way is covered with a transparent film, it can be attached without any further measures.

方法により行ってもよい。The image-receiving layer can be formed by a known coating or printing method using an image-receiving layer-forming composition obtained by dissolving or dispersing a material for forming the image-receiving layer on a transparent film. It may also be carried out by a method in which it is once formed on a temporary carrier different from the transparent film and then transferred onto the transparent film again.

い。An image-receiving layer is formed on the temporary carrier in the same manner as on a transparent film, and then, if necessary, an adhesive layer is formed. This adhesive layer is for ensuring adhesive strength between the transparent film and the image-receiving layer when the image-receiving layer is transferred onto the transparent film. In this method, an intermediate layer imparting other characteristics such as cushioning properties may be formed on the temporary carrier, and the intermediate layer and the image-receiving layer may be transferred onto the transparent film at the same time. If the intermediate layer also serves as an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer need not be formed on the temporary carrier; in both cases, the adhesive layer is a transparent film and a top layer on the temporary carrier. Since it is sufficient to form an adhesive layer on a transparent film, only an image-receiving layer or an image-receiving layer and an intermediate layer may be formed on a temporary carrier and then transferred.

採用するのがよい。If a method is adopted in which the image-receiving layer is once formed on a temporary carrier and then formed on a transparent film by a transfer method, the surface of the image-receiving layer formed on the transparent film will not have the state of the surface of the temporary carrier transferred thereto. The image-receiving layer formed directly on the transparent film has poor smoothness compared to the image-receiving layer formed directly on the transparent film, but is clearer and more precise. When it is desired to obtain a j'LA'' image, it is preferable to adopt a transfer method.

00% modulus is lookkg/crn' or less, and if the 100% modulus exceeds 100kg/cm'', the rigidity is too high, so such a resin is used to form an intermediate layer. Even if the thermal transfer sheet and the image-receiving layer are formed, sufficient adhesion during printing cannot be maintained, and the lower limit of the 100% modulus is actually 0.
It is about 5 kg/CrrI'.

.. It is about 5 to 50 pm, more preferably about 2 to 20 pm. If the thickness is 0.5jLm, it will not be able to absorb the roughness of the surface of the transparent film provided, so it will not be effective;
Not only is there no improvement in the effect beyond Lm, but the image-receiving layer becomes too thick and protrudes, causing trouble when winding or stacking, and is not economical.

すくなることも寄与しているものと推定される。Formation of such an intermediate layer improves the adhesion between the thermal transfer sheet and the sheet to be thermally transferred, probably because the intermediate layer itself has low rigidity and is deformed by pressure during printing. It is presumed that this type of resin usually has a low glass transition point or softening point, and the thermal energy applied during printing causes the rigidity to decrease even more than at room temperature, making it easier to deform. .

4) A solution in which a thermoplastic resin or synthetic rubber is dissolved in an organic solvent, and a solution that is less likely to evaporate than the organic solvent, is compatible with the organic solvent, and is soluble in the thermoplastic resin or synthetic rubber. A microporous layer is used, which is formed by coating a transparent film with a mixture of a non-solvent (including those containing water as a main component) and drying it to form a microscopically aggregated film. Since the bubbles in the layers 1) to 3) above are large, when a solution for forming an image receiving layer is applied on the layers and dried, there is a risk that unevenness may occur on the surface of the dried image receiving layer. There is. Therefore, in order to obtain a surface of the image-receiving layer with small irregularities and on which a highly uniform image can be transferred, the above-mentioned 4.
