Description
【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は被熱転写シートに関する。[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a thermal transfer sheet.
近年、ＣＲＴディスプレイ上の画像より直接写真のよう
な画像を記録するための記録方式として、電気信号によ
って発熱が制御されるサーマルヘッド等によって熱転写
シートを加熱し、熱転写シートの色材層中の昇華性染料
を被熱転写ソートに転写せしめて画像情報の記録を行う
熱転写記録方式が採用されている。この熱転写記録方式
は、シアン、マゼンタ、イエローの重ね記録を行うこと
によって、色の濃淡に連続的な変化を有するカラー画像
を転写記録することができる方式として征目されている
。上記熱転写記録方式において用いられる被熱転写シー
トとして、従来は基材シートの表面にポリエステル樹脂
等からなる受容層を形成してなるものが知られている。In recent years, as a recording method for directly recording photograph-like images rather than images on a CRT display, a thermal transfer sheet is heated by a thermal head whose heat generation is controlled by electric signals, and sublimation in the color material layer of the thermal transfer sheet is used. A thermal transfer recording method is employed in which image information is recorded by transferring a dye to a thermally transferred sort. This thermal transfer recording method is attracting attention as a method that can transfer and record a color image having continuous changes in color shading by overlapping recording of cyan, magenta, and yellow. As a thermal transfer sheet used in the above-mentioned thermal transfer recording system, one in which a receiving layer made of polyester resin or the like is formed on the surface of a base sheet is conventionally known.

の無い、高４度の転写を行うことができる。The thermal transfer sheet of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure is stacked on the thermal transfer sheet so that the coloring layer of the thermal transfer sheet and the receiving layer of the thermal transfer sheet are in contact with each other, and heated from the supporting material side of the thermal transfer sheet using a Saalmahenod or the like. By peeling off the transfer sheet, the sublimable dye in the color material layer is transferred to the receiving layer of the thermal transfer sheet, and an image corresponding to the image information is recorded on the thermal transfer sheet. At this time, since the present invention has a plasticizer-containing resin layer, it is possible to perform high-four-degree transfer without roughness or one-degree unevenness during transfer.
以下、実施例を挙げて本発明を更に詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples.
