Description
8 Field of the Invention :
9 The present invention is concerned with a ribbon for use in non-impact printing. In particular, it is concerned with 11 the transfer coating for such a ribbon. Printing is achieved 12 by transferring the transfer coating from a ribbon to paper 13 by means of local heating of the ribbon. Such localized 14 heating may be obtained, for example, by contacting the ribbon with point electrodes and a broad area contact electrode.
16 The high current densities in the neighborhood of the point 17 electrodes during an applied voltage pulse produce intense 18 local heating which causes transfer of transfer coating from 19 the ribbon to a paper in contact with the ribbon.
Prior Art 21 U. S. Patents 2,713,822 and 3,744,611 both describe non-22 impact printing processes employing a ribbon containing a 23 transfer coating and a substrate. In the prior ~rt the 24 transfer coating has been a mixture of carbon, dye and .
waxes which melt at from about 85 to about 90C. Such - 26 transfer coatings-have poor rub resistance. It is an object - , - :
27 of the present invention to provide a transfer coating for 28 non-impact printing which is rub resistant.

1 high resolution, dense printing. The transfer coating 2 comprises coloring material, for example, carbon black, one
3 or more dyes, or both, and a thermoplastic polymeric resin
4 having a melting point between 40C and 160~C. It is also essential that the Ihermoplastic polymeric resin be soluble 6 in a solvent which does not attack the substrate.
7 Outstandingly good results have been obtained using 8 thermoplastic polymeric resins which are polyamides. Examples g of such polyamides are Versamid~polyamids produced by General Mills, Inc. Versamid~polyamides are the reaction products 11 of dibasic acids with diamines. They are based on polymerized 12 fatty acids or dimer acids, made by polymerizing unsaturated 13 fatty acids. These materials are well known to the art and 14 are discussed, for example, in the "Handbook of Adhesives,"
by Skeist, publlshed by Reinhold Publishing Corporation, New 16 York, New Yor~, 1962, beginning at pa~e 425.
17 - Other useful thermoplastic polymeric resins include 18 phenol-formaldehyde type resins such as Amberol~226 and 19 Amberol~ST137 from Rohm & Haas. Also useful thermoplastic ; o polymeric resins are ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers such 21 as Elvax~from duPont.
22 Other thermoplastic polymeric resins include ætyrene ~: .
23 polymers and copolymers and blends thereof. For example, a 24 blend comprising 65% polystyrene and 35% n-butylmethacrylate.
Polystyrene may also be blended with other polymers, for ~26 example, coumerone-indene resin. Thermoplastic polymeric resins 27 are also made from polyols by forming rosin esters thereof.
28 It is necessary that the thermoplastic polymeric resin 29 used in the transfer medium be soluble in a solvent which does not harm the substrate of the ribbon. The preferred *tRI~DE, ~n~<s :~ `'`? ~

As examples of solvents which do not 3 attack the substrate, and in which the thermoplastic 4 polymeric resins are soluble, there may be mentioned alcohols, particularly n-propanol or isopropanol, and also mixtures 6 of one or more alcohol with water. Toluene is also a useful 7 solvent. By the use of such solvents, the transfer media 8 may be applied directly to the ribbon substrate during the g manufacturin~ process.
Tt is necessary that the transfer coating contain a 11 coloring material. Carbon blaek is generally preferred.
12 When desired, in addition to the earbon blaek, one or more 13 dyes may also be ineorporated. In general, about 30~ by-weight 14 of earbon blaek and about 3% by weight of dye will be ineor-porated in the transfer eoating.
16 The ribbons obtained aecording to the present invention 17 have excellent handling eharaeteristics. No transfer oeeurs 18 from the ribbon to the hands. When used in non-impaet 19 printing, the eoating transfers at energies equal to or less than that required for wax-based inks. Furthermore, transfer 21 does not oeeur upon impaet.
22 The partieular most desirable feature of printing done 23 by a non-impaet process using a ribbon of the present invention 24 eontaining a suitable thermoplastie polymerie resin is that the printing is both dry and wet rub resistant and offers 26 high resolution and exeellent appearanee.

3~:4 2 19.2 gms of a polyamide (General Mills Versamid 950) 3 was dissolved in 89 gms of propyl alcohol. Added to the 4 solution was 2.84 gms of carbon (Degussa~Special Black 4) and 0.28 gms of ~ethyl Violet dye. The mixture was then 6 dispersed by vigorous stirring for 45 minutes.
7 The dispersion was then cast onto a substrate of 70 8 polycarbonate and 30% conductive carbon, said substrate 9 having a sheet resistivity of approximately 400 ohms/sq.
The thermoplastic polymeric resin transfer coating was then 11 dried to remove excess solvent. Dry thickness o~ the ink 12 layer was 5 microns.
13 The ribbon was mounted on a print rohot with the ink 14 surface against the paper. A print head consisting of two mil tungsten electrodes was engaged against the backside of the 16 ribbon. The printer was operated at a speed of 10 inches/sec.
