Abstract

A thermal ink ribbon, in particular a thermal carbon ribbon, having a conventional substrate and having a layer formed on one side of the substrate and consisting of wax- and/or plastics-bound fusion ink for producing scratch-resistant markings by subsequent heat treatment, which is characterised in that small non-melting, colorant-containing polymer spheres which melt in a heat treatment following the thermal printing process are present in the fusion ink during the thermal printing process. Such a thermal carbon ribbon can be produced in particular by a method in which an aqueous dispersion which contains the small polymer spheres and fine particles of the binder is applied to the substrate of the thermal carbon ribbon, and the aqueous part of the dispersion is removed in a customary manner. If, by means of the thermal carbon ribbon according to the invention, a symbol is applied to any substrate and this symbol is subjected to subsequent heat treatment which leads to melting of the small polymer spheres, the printed symbol has a different structure, with the result that the symbol is now scratch-resistant. The scratch resistance plays a role in various industrial areas, such as in labels and other recording media. <IMAGE>
