摘要:
Provided is a direct thermal media containing a regular repeating pattern of color-forming thermally-imageable stripes printed parallel to the print head element line and a system for using such direct thermal media in color direct thermal printers including an optical registration system optimized for use with this media and an image processing unit that monitors the position of the stripe pattern relative to the print head and synchronizes the start of the printing process. This direct thermal media together with the optical registration system and image processing unit comprise an operative system in that the design of the thermal media, the optical registration system and image processing unit used to control printing are optimized for use with each other. This system may be utilized, for example, in color thermal printers for documents, receipts, tags, tickets or labels.

An optical mask including a transmissive base substrate, a reflective pattern layer, and a photothermal conversion pattern layer. The reflective pattern layer is disposed on the transmissive base substrate. The reflective pattern layer includes reflectors. The photothermal conversion pattern layer is disposed on the transmissive base substrate among the reflectors. The photothermal conversion pattern layer includes first regions with a first light absorptivity and second regions with a second light absorptivity. The second light absorptivity is greater than the first light absorptivity. The first regions are disposed among the second regions.
摘要:
A roll-shaped image receiving sheet usable in a thermal transfer printing process. The image-receiving sheet includes a plurality of indeterminatley spaced thermal transfer image-receiving areas, and a detection mark formed on the sheet corresponding to each image receiving area, the mark being adapted for detecting a starting-position for formation of a thermal transfer printing image on each of the image receiving areas.

When a temporary adhesive layer for peelably bonding a transfer-receiving material to a thermal transfer sheet comprising a substrate film and a heat-fusible ink layer disposed on one side thereof is caused to comprise a specific adhesive, an excellent composite thermal transfer material is provided. In such a composite thermal transfer sheet, the thermal transfer sheet is firmly bonded to the transfer-receiving material so as not to cause wrinkles or deviation, both of these members may easily be peeled from each other so that the ink layer is exactly transferred to the paper in a transfer region and it is not transferred thereto at all in a non-transfer region, whereby the transfer-receiving material is not contaminated. An antistatic treatment provides a composite thermal transfer sheet causing no trouble due to charging at the time of or after printing operation. When at least one end portion of a sheet-type composite thermal transfer sheet is fixed, there is provided a composite thermal transfer sheet wherein unintended peeling is prevented.
摘要:
This invention relates to a thermal dye transfer assemblage comprising:I) a dye-donor element comprising a support having thereon a set of sequential repeating dye patches of two subtractive primary color image dyes dispersed in a polymeric binder; andII) a dye-receiving element comprising a support having thereon in order:a) a layer comprising a heat-sensitive, dye-forming precursor of a third, complementary, subtractive primary color image dye dispersed in a polymeric binder, the dye-forming precursor being capable of forming the third, complementary, subtractive primary color image dye at a temperature which is higher than the temperature used to transfer the other two subtractive primary color image dyes; andb) a dye image-receiving layer; the dye-receiving element being in superposed relationship with the dye-donor element so that the dye layer is in contact with the dye image-receiving layer.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a heat transfer recording medium in which a substrate has items of information such as an image and characters formed on the surface thereof by heat transfer and a transparent protective layer is provided on at least a part of the surface of the thus recorded information through an adhesive layer, if required, characterized in that the adhesive layer and/or protective layer function to provide security against counterfeiting. Combining information recorded by heat transfer with a function to provide security against counterfeiting, the present invention provides greater security against falsifying or counterfeiting.
摘要:
Heat-sensitive imaging element comprising a support carrying a binder layer, optionally an intermediate adhesive layer, and and a barrier layer that is ablatable by a laser beam or permeabilizable under the influence of a laser beam, wherein said binder layer contains at least one hydrophobizing agent capable of diffusing under the influence of heat through holes made in said barrier layer or through permeabilized parts of said barrier layer and capable of reacting with the oleophobic surface of a printing plate precursor brought in face-to-face contact with said barrier layer. The present invention also relates to a process for producing a lithographic printing plate, wherein use is made of such heat-sensitive imaging element.
