Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable transferred images or the like with favorable quality to be recorded even on a recording paper low in smoothness, by sequentially providing at least a non-fluid ink layer, a vapor-deposited metallic layer and an adhesive layer on a base film, either directly or with a release agent layer therebetween. CONSTITUTION:At least a non-fluid layer 3, a vapor-deposition metallic layer 4 and an adhesive layer 5 for constituting a composite layer are sequentially provided on a base film 1, either directly or with a release agent layer 2 therebetween. When the releasability of the base film 1 from the non-fluid ink layer 3 is poor, the release agent layer 2 may be provided. The vapor-deposited metallic layer 4 completely shield the light-reflected from a recording paper, thereby enhancing the density of images formed in the ink layer. Therefore, the ink layer can be made in a relatively small thickness, so that sharpness of printed images is enhanced, and thermal conductivity is enhanced. Since it is unnecessary to incorporate a coloring material into the adhesive layer 5, the layer 5, the layer 5 is flexible, and can be selected for use by consideration only the adhesiveness to the recording material. Therefore, an image faithiful to a pattern of a heat generating part can be formed even where the surface of the recording paper is low in smoothness.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, thermal transfer media have been made by providing a heat-melting ink layer that heat-melts at a predetermined temperature on a base film having a thickness of, for example, about 3 to 121 cm. To explain the recording operation of this thermal transfer medium, a thermal head is in contact with the base film, and when the thermal head is driven according to a recording signal and that part generates heat, the heat-melting ink is applied to the corresponding part of the base film. is melted and transferred to the receiving paper. A transfer image corresponding to the recording signal is formed on the transfer paper using this transfer ink, and recording can be performed on the transfer paper using plain paper.

However, since the thermal transfer medium described above allows thermally molten ink to soak into the surface of the recording paper, it is easily affected by the surface of the recording paper, such as the back of the recording paper. When using bond paper with a smoothness of 40 seconds or less, the ink application becomes uneven and the image quality inevitably deteriorates. In addition, if a hot-melt binder with a low melt viscosity is used, bleeding occurs in the transferred image, and increasing the thickness of the hot-melting ink layer causes problems such as increased bleeding in the transferred image and a decrease in printing speed. was there. In addition, a base film with a heat-melting ink layer and a transfer auxiliary layer has been proposed (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 114889/1989), but the coloring material in the heat-melting ink layer transfers to the transfer auxiliary layer. Occurrence of bleeding due to
In order to increase the image density, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the heat-melting ink layer, which results in poor image sharpness and poor image reproducibility, and furthermore, poor thermal conductivity, which reduces printing speed. There were problems such as:

The metal vapor deposited layer (4) of the thermal transfer medium of Wood's invention is formed on the non-flowing ink layer by a conventional method such as aluminum, copper, etc.
It is formed by vapor-depositing metals such as silver and gold, or their alloys or metal compounds, but aluminum is most preferable in terms of light-shielding properties and cost. The metal-deposited layer has the effect of completely blocking light reflected from the recording paper and increasing the image density of the non-flowing ink layer.Therefore, the non-flowing ink layer can be made relatively thin, which improves printing quality. It becomes sharper,
It has the effect of increasing thermal conductivity.

It is formed by vapor deposition to a thickness of about 0n. If the thickness is less than about 10 nm, there is almost no light shielding property or metallic luster, so there is no value in providing a metal vapor deposited layer, and even if it is formed to a thickness of about 1100 nm or more, there is no change in light shielding property or metallic luster, making it economical. Not. Note that the metal vapor deposition layer may not be one layer, but may be a plurality of layers, and in that case, the type of metal may be changed for each layer.

The adhesive layer (5) of the thermal transfer medium of the present invention does not need to contain a coloring material such as carbon black compared to a conventional heat-melting ink layer, so it is sufficiently soft and only the adhesiveness to the recording paper is considered. Since the adhesive can be selectively used, even if the surface of the recording paper has low smoothness, it can faithfully adhere to or penetrate into the uneven parts and form an image faithfully on the heated part. Furthermore, even if the adhesive layer itself bleeds, it will not affect the image because it is transparent.

In this way, the wooden invention has the characteristic of being able to form clear images even on non-recording paper with low smoothness, and furthermore, it has a metal vapor deposition layer and the overall thickness of the layer is relatively thin, so it can be heated easily.

Second, a coating solution made by dissolving 25 parts of styrene-maleic acid resin and 20 parts of carpon flake in a mixed solvent consisting of 45 parts of methyl isobutyl ketone and 7210 parts of cyclohexane is applied and dried to a thickness of 1.54 mm. A non-fluid ink layer is formed, and chromium is deposited on it to a thickness of 60 parts by vacuum deposition, and then 80 parts of paraffin wax and 10 parts of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin are added on top of it using turpentine oil. A coating solution prepared by dissolving 10 parts was applied and dried to form an adhesive layer with a thickness of 1.5 gm to obtain a black thermal transfer medium of the present invention.
