Dye mixture of the present invention is by the weight of dye mixture, usually contain 5-95% (weight) (preferred 20-80% (weight), preferred especially 40-60% (weight)) anthraquinone dye of one or more formula IIIs of the pyridone dyes of one or more formulas I and 5-95% (weight) (preferred 20-80% (weight), preferred especially 40-60% (weight)).
By the weight of pyridone dyes and anthraquinone dye, dye mixture also contains 40-60% (weight) azoic dyestuff usually.
The new dye mixture can make with traditional method, for example each homogencous dyes is pressed above-mentioned weight ratio blending.
The pyridone dyes of formula I itself is known, for example US-A-5079365, WO-A-95/17470, WO-A-95/22581 or before Europe patent application No.96 101637.5 in disclosed, the perhaps available method of being mentioned here makes.Open among for example former patent application EP-A-680834 of the hot transfer printing of these dyestuffs.
The anthraquinone dye of formula III itself also is known, for example at K.Venkataraman " TheChemistry of Synthetic Dyes ", and Vol.111, pages 391 to 413, AcademicPress, New York, London, 1970 describe.
The azoic dyestuff of formula IV itself also is known, and is open among for example former patent application WO-A-9603462.These have, and disclosed method makes among the also available method of mentioning here of azoic dyestuff of aniline series coupling component or the US-A-5283326.
Dye mixture of the present invention has fabulous application performance.They have high solvability (good intermiscibility being arranged with tackiness agent) in ink-stick, high stability is arranged in printing and dyeing, good transfer printing, high image stabilization (be good light fastness and to the good stability of environmental activity (as steam, temperature or chemical)) and guarantee other subtractive primariess color-match is flexibly produced the high quality colour gamut.In addition, dye mixture of the present invention makes the good black dyes of generation become possibility.
What pay special attention to is that single component spectra evenly loses lustre when irradiation, just, has the single dyestuff of low light fastness preferentially not lose lustre usually.
The present invention also provides a kind of makes dyestuff be transferred to method on the paper that is coated with plastics from transfer device by the method for the energy by diffusion or distillation, and this method comprises the transfer device that uses the dye mixture that contains above-detailed.
In order to make the required transfer plate of the inventive method, dye mixture is added in the suitable organic solvent or solvent mixture, form the seal China ink, one or more tackiness agents are arranged in the solvent, also various auxiliarys can be arranged.This seal China ink preferably contains the dyestuff of molecular dispersion, promptly dissolves the dyestuff of form.Available scraper plate will print China ink and be coated on the inert support, and use dry air.Mixing the organic solvent that is fit to for this dyestuff for example is such solvent, greater than 1% (weight), is preferably greater than 5% (weight) in the solubleness of 20 ℃ of following dye mixtures in this solvent.
The example of solvent is ethanol, propyl alcohol, isopropylcarbinol, tetrahydrofuran (THF), methylene dichloride, methylethylketone, cyclopentanone, pimelinketone, toluene, chlorobenzene or its mixture.
The tackiness agent that is fit to comprises resin or the polymkeric substance that all are such, and they are soluble in organic solvent, and they can fall enough firm being adhered on the inert support of dye mixture to prevent stranding.Preferred such tackiness agent, after the black dry air of seal, this tackiness agent is contained in the clean transparent film dye mixture, and without any the crystallization of visible dye mixture.
Such tackiness agent is for example mentioned in the relevant patent application that draw US-A-5132438 or it.The saturated straight chain polyester also is fit to.
Preferred adhesive comprises ethyl cellulose, ethyl hydroxylated cellulose, polyvinyl butyrate, polyvinyl acetate, cellulose propionate or saturated straight chain polyester.
Tackiness agent: the weight ratio of dye mixture is generally 1: 1 to 10: 1.
The auxiliary that is fit to for example comprises releasing agent, as what mention in the US-A-5132438 and the relevant patent application of being drawn thereof.Can prevent in storage process or organic additive that the crystallization of ink-stick when heating dye transfer is separated out also is particularly suitable, as cholesterol or Vanillin.
The inert support that is fit to is for example disclosed in the relevant patent application that US-A-5132438 or its drew.The thickness of carrier is generally 3-30 μ m, preferred 5-10 μ m.
The dyestuff receiving layer that is fit to comprises that in principle all have the heat-stabilised poly compound layer of affinity, for example polycarbonate of modification or polyester to the dyestuff of wanting transfer printing.More detailed content for example can find in the relevant patent application that US-A-5132438 or its drew.
Carry out transfer printing with the energy, for example with laser or heating head, for this reason, heating head must be able to be heated to 〉=and 300 ℃, can in time range t:0<t<15ms, take place with the transfer printing that causes dyestuff.Dye migration goes out the transfer printing thin plate, and is diffused on the top coat of receiver media.
Dye mixture of the present invention is also very suitable to dye synthetic materials or printing and dyeing (comprising ink jet method), as polyester, polymeric amide or polycarbonate.Particularly suitable is textile material, as fiber, yarn, line, knitted fabrics, yarn fabric or the nonwoven fabric of being made up of polyester, modified poly ester (as anion-modified polyester) or polyester and Mierocrystalline cellulose, cotton, viscose fiber or woolen union yarn.Dyestuff and printing and dyeing condition itself are known, as have been included in the dyeing in the critical carbon dioxide.Dyestuff of the present invention also can be used for dyeing keratinous fibres, as dyeing hair or dye fur.
The new dye mixture also can be used for making the colour filter that is described among the EP-A-399473 for example preferably.
At last, they also can be used as tinting material, are used to produce the toning agent of photoelectric photometer.
Following embodiment is used for illustrating the present invention.
Following table 1-4 lists each the single dyestuff as blending compound.

Hot transfer step
A) 10g dye mixture (then of short duration if desired the 80-90 of being heated to ℃) is dug mix in the solution of tackiness agent of 1 00g 10% (weight) polyethylene butyraldehyde for the basis, its methylethylketone/toluene/pimelinketone volume ratio is 4.5: 2: 2.
With 10 μ m scraper plates mixture is painted the thick polyester film of 6 μ m, it has suitable smooth layer overleaf, dries up 1min with blower.Before ink-stick can be printed and dyed, it is dry air 24h at least also, because residual solvent can damage dyeing process.
B) on the industrial color printing paper of on the laboratory computer operating device that industry heating printing head is housed ink-stick being printed and dyed (Hita-chi).
Change voltage and control the energy that the heating printing head is launched, chong channel length is decided to be 7ms, only launches a pulse at every turn.The energy of emission is 0.5-2.0mJ/dot.
Because color depth directly is proportional to the energy that is applied, it is possible producing the tonal wedge (color wedge) that is used for spectral assessment.
The energy mapping that color depth applies each heating unit is to determine Q *Value (being the energy mJ of 1l absorption value) and gradient m (l/mJ).
Result who obtains and λ MaxValue (measuring on colour seal paper) is listed following table 5 together in.
