摘要:
A thermal image transfer recording medium is composed of a support and an ink layer formed thereon which includes (i) a lower thermal image transfer portion located in the vicinity of the support, containing a three-dimensional network structure of a resin with a voidage A and a thermofusible ink which is held within the network structure, and (ii) an upper thermal image transfer portion located on top of the lower thermal image transfer layer portion, containing a fine porous structure of a resin with a voidage B which is smaller than the voidage A of the network structure, and a thermofusible wax component which is held within the porous structure, and the network structure being at least partially connected to both the porous structure and the support.
摘要:
A thermosensitive image transfer recording medium is disclosed, which comprises (i) a support material, (ii) a thermofusible ink layer formed on the support material, comprising (a) a fine porous network structure made of a resin, and (b) a thermofusible ink composition which is held in the fine porous network structure, comprising a thermofusible material which is solid at room temperature, a colorant, and an oil component and (iii) a thermofusible top layer comprising an oleophilic thermofusible material formed on the thermofusible ink layer.
摘要:
A transfer sheet for thermal reproduction processes having a discontinuous transfer layer defined by a plurality of closely spaced discrete carbon regions. In a specific embodiment the transfer surface is defined by a substantially uniform distribution of carbon regions of varying diameters providing improved continuous tone reproduction through temperature-correlated carbon transfer.
摘要:
A thermal image transfer recording medium comprising a support, and an ink layer formed thereon, consisting essentially of (i) a lower non-porous layer portion located in the vicinity of the support, comprising a first thermofusible ink and a first resin, and (ii) an upper porous layer portion located on top of the lower layer portion, comprising a second thermofusible ink and a second resin having a minute porous structure in which the second thermofusible ink is supported. In this recording medium, the occupation ratio of the second resin in the upper porous layer portion is higher than that of the first resin in the lower layer portion, and the second resin and the support is connected with each other by the first resin.
摘要:
A thermal transfer material, comprising a support, and a heat-transferable ink layer. The heat-transferable ink layer includes at least two species of domains of heat-fusible materials. The thermal transfer material provides a transfer image of high density and clear edges even on a recording medium having poor surface smoothness, particularly when peeled off the recording medium within 50 milli-seconds after the heat application.
摘要:
A thermal transfer ink sheet adopted to be repeatedly reused several times in a printing operation by means of a thermal printer. The thermal transfer ink sheet comprises a sheet-like base such as paper or a plastic film, a hot-melt ink layer stacked on the base with an adhesive layer disposed therebetween, and an ink-holding porous membrane layer filled with hot-melt ink and stacked on the ink layer. Another hot-melt ink layer may be further stacked on the ink-holding porous membrane layer.
摘要:
A reusable heat-sensitive transfer recording element which comprises a foundation and an ink-containing layer provided on the foundation, said ink-containing layer comprising porous particles impregnated with a heat-meltable ink and a binder material for bonding the particles to each other, said binder material being substantially incompatible with the heat-meltable ink. With the present transfer elements, printed images having a high optical density can be obtained from the initial use thereof and printed images having such high optical density can be obtained at every repeated use.
摘要:
An image forming method including preparing a thermal transfer sheet having a dye layer on a substrate, the dye layer containing a sublimable dye, preparing a decorative seal having a seal base material on a release sheet, the seal base material having a layered structure of an adhesive layer and a film layered in this order from the release sheet side, the film containing a resin having a dyeing affinity to the sublimable dye contained in the dye layer, and the film having an elongation percentage of not less than 150% and not more than 400% when determined by a test method in conformity with JIS-K-7127:1999, and thermally transferring the sublimable dye in the dye layer onto the seal base material by sublimation thermal transfer process, thereby forming a thermal transfer image on the seal base material.
