The mixed base thermal transfer red ink paste used for seals band and the production method thereof of heat seeling coating
Technical field
The present invention relates to employed mixed base thermal transfer red ink paste used for seals band and production method thereof in a kind of thermal transfer imaging, this colour band is particularly useful for the printing of bar code.
Background technology
It is that Mille invented in nineteen fifty-three that heat shifts formation method, as a kind of computer peripheral equipment output equipment of contactless printing, has become the very high class special printer of occupation rate of market.Its image-forming principle is that the computer output signal drives the electrothermal semiconductor head, and (Thermal Transfer Ribbon, TTR) fusion is transferred to and is subjected to the picture medium, forms the process of writings and image to make heat transfer colour ribbon.
The basic comprising of TTR: a) terylene of Bao Erqiang or other high density material tape bases; B) priming coat in tape base front is to guarantee complete transfer good colour and mass colour when printing; C) wax or resin-based mass colour layer; When d) external coating on the mass colour layer is printed with protection mass colour and enhancing and by the tack of printed material matter; E) back coating of tape base plays antistatic, and soaking and the effect that reduces friction can be protected printhead, have prolonged service life.
The TTR product that can simply be divided three classes:
Cerul colour band (Wax ribbon): the cerul raw material (ratio of wax is greater than 65%) that contains high percentage usually, these raw materials have determined the fusing point of carbon ribbon, the energy level that the fusing point influence needs when printing, in general, because the fusing point of wax is far below resin, print the energy level that needs with the cerul carbon ribbon when printing with mixed base and resin-based; Because most waxes are softer than resin, the durability of cerul carbon ribbon printing curve is not as mixed base and resin-based again.The cerul colour band has the characteristics of high density, high sensitivity usually, is applied to paper labels, and printing effect is good, cost economy, and most cerul colour band has only one deck coating.
Wax/mixed with resin primary colours band (Wax/Resin): the resinous principle raw material (ratio of resin is between 30%-50%) that generally contains high percentage, this has determined that the fusing point of this colour band is higher, compare with the cerul colour band and also to need higher energy level when printing with this carbon ribbon, because most resins is harder than wax, the scratch resistant property and the anti-chemical corrosivity of the figure that prints are also good than cerul colour band.Most mixed base colour bands are by two-layer or more multi-layered the composition.The mixed base colour band has letter quality printing effect and endurance quality concurrently, is widely used, and valency is imitated all good.
Resin-based (Resin) colour band: contain the most a high proportion of resinous principle, advance the energy level of needs also than cerul and mixed base height in printing, because most resins is harder than wax, the tool durability of this carbon ribbon, wear-resisting wiping, performance such as heat-resisting, corrosion-resistant, some prescription can vapor-proof pressure, and some then can be through washing or dry-cleaning etc., but it is the highest that the printing cost is compared with the first two class, and medium adaptability is the poorest.
The user can wait and select carbon ribbon according to employed printer and print media and desired printing effect such as scratch resistance (friction), anti-scratching property, anti-pollution, heat-resisting, anti-solvent, wash resistant, anti-bleaching, absorption of perspiration, anti-flatiron, anti-optical activity.
Along with the continuous expansion of the fast development of China's information technology and computer application field and deeply, people are increasing to the printing demand of high speed, high-quality output, and traditional printing type is difficult to satisfy the omnibearing demand of user at aspects such as price, print quality, print speed on the market.
Because mixed base thermal transfer red ink paste used for seals band possesses very high technology content, company mainly concentrated on Japan, the U.S., Korea S, France producing this enterprise producing this product surplus the whole world had only 10.Comprise well-known large enterprises such as Ricoh, DNP, Fujicopy, IImak, ITW, Armor.Technical elements, the mixed base bar code carbon ribbon of world's main flow all adopts the solvent-borne type coating method, and its solvent that adopts is generally organic solvents such as gasoline, toluene, dimethylbenzene, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, butanone and cyclohexanone, can cause certain pollution to environment.
The patent No. is ZL02115333.7, name is called in the Chinese patent of " heat transfer colour ribbon and manufacturing process thereof " and discloses a kind of heat transfer colour ribbon and manufacturing process thereof, this heat transfer colour ribbon in the claims the ratio of resin between 7-12%, belong to the cerul heat transfer colour ribbon, the scratch resistant property of the image that this colour band prints and anti-chemical corrosivity are weak more a lot of than mixed base thermal transfer red ink paste used for seals band, are the Eco-power colour bands of a class.It has adopted three kinds of diverse ways to make ink lay, obtains solvent-borne type slurry, oil-in-water type slurry and molten slurry respectively, and the shortcoming of solvent slurry has been to use harmful solvent, can cause the raising of environmental pollution and cost; The shortcoming of oil-in-water type slurry is owing to introduced softer emulsifying agent in system, may make image the problem that wearability descends and stains occur.Though mentioned melt coating in the documents, but the ratio of its resin lower (7-12%), resin is melted in the wax easily, the viscosity of its melt can be too not high, can adopt melt coating, belongs to current techique in the cerul heat transfer colour ribbon, but because the ratio of resin is lower, therefore the colour band persistence of making is not enough, scratch-resistant not, and print quality is relatively poor.
