Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new method for transferring anthraquinone dyes by diffusion or sublimation from a support to a plastic-coated substrate with the aid of an energy source.
  • a transfer sheet which contains a thermally transferable dye in one or more binders, optionally together with suitable auxiliaries, is supported on a support with an energy source, e.g. with a heating head or a laser, heated by short heating impulses (duration: fractions of a second) from the rear, whereby the dye migrates from the transfer sheet and diffuses into the surface coating of a recording medium, usually into the plastic layer of a coated paper.
  • an energy source e.g. with a heating head or a laser
  • short heating impulses duration: fractions of a second
  • the color is recorded using the subtractive primary colors yellow, magenta, cyan (and possibly black).
  • the invention was therefore based on the object of finding suitable blue dyes for thermal transfer printing processes which come closer to the required property profile than the dyes known hitherto.
  • Suitable radicals R 1 , R 2 or R 3 are C 1 -C 20 alkyl groups, preference is given to C 1 -C 12 alkyl groups and, in the case of R 3 , C 1 -C 4 alkyl groups are particularly preferred.
  • the following may be mentioned in detail: methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, sec-pentyl, tert-pentyl, hexyl, 2-methylpentyl, heptyl, octyl, 2-ethylhexyl, Nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, tridecyl, tetradecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl, heptadecyl, octadecyl, nonadecyl, eicosy
  • R 1 is particularly preferably hydrogen
  • R 2 is phenyl, which can be substituted by C 1 -C 4 -alkyl or -alkoxy
  • R 3 C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, in particular methyl
  • X in addition to cyano, is especially hydrogen.
  • the anthraquinone dyes I are known per se or can be prepared by known methods.
  • the anthraquinones I which have an acetyl group in the 2-position are e.g. Expediently from 1-amino-2-acetylanthraquinone (Houben-Weyl, Vol. 7 / 3c, p. 251), which can then be reacted with the desired ones in a conventional manner after bromination in the sense of a Ullmann reaction.
  • anthraquinone dyes known to be used in the process according to the invention are generally distinguished by improved migration properties in the recording medium at room temperature, easier thermal transferability, higher thermal and photochemical stability, easier technical accessibility, better resistance to moisture and chemicals, higher color strength, better solubility or better suitability for subtractive color mixing (higher color purity, more favorable form of the absorption band, higher transparency in the green spectral range).
  • the dyes are processed into a printing ink in a suitable organic solvent or in mixtures of solvents with one or more binders, if appropriate with the addition of auxiliaries.
  • a printing ink in a suitable organic solvent or in mixtures of solvents with one or more binders, if appropriate with the addition of auxiliaries.
  • the printing ink can be applied to the inert carrier using a doctor blade. The resulting color is then air dried.
  • Suitable organic solvents are those in which the solubility of the dyes I generally at a temperature of 20 ° C. is greater than 1% by weight, preferably greater than 5% by weight.
  • ethanol for example, ethanol, propanol, isobutanol, tetrahydrofuran, methylene chloride, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, toluene, chlorobenzene or mixtures thereof.
  • binders All resins or polymer materials which are soluble in organic solvents and bind the dye to the inert support in an abrasion-resistant manner are suitable as binders capital. Preference is given to binders which, after the printing ink has dried in air, absorb the dye in the form of a clear, transparent film without the dye crystallizing out visibly.
  • Preferred binders are especially ethyl cellulose, ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyrate, polyvinyl acetate, cellulose propionate and saturated linear polyesters.
  • the weight ratio of binder: dye is generally 1: 1 to 10: 1.
  • Suitable inert carriers are also described in EP-A-441 282 and in the patent applications cited therein.
  • the thickness of the dye carrier is generally 3 to 30 microns, preferably 5 to 10 microns.
  • thermostable plastic layers with affinity for the dyes to be transferred can be used as the dye-receiving layer, e.g. modified polycarbonate or polyester. Further details can be found in EP-A-441 282 or the patent applications cited therein.
  • the dye transfer takes place with the aid of an energy source, such as a laser or, above all, a thermal head, the latter having to be able to be heated to a temperature of 300 300 ° C. so that the dye transfer can take place in the time range t: 0 ⁇ t ⁇ 15 msec.
  • the dye migrates from the transfer sheet and diffuses into the surface coating of the recording medium.
  • the printing ink obtained was knife-coated onto a 6 ⁇ m thick polyester film with a sliding layer on the back using a 6 ⁇ m doctor blade.
  • the ink ribbons were then first blown dry with a hair dryer and then air-dried for at least 24 hours in order to remove residual amounts of solvent.
  • the ink ribbons were then printed on Hitachi VY-S video print paper on a computer-controlled experimental set-up with a commercially available thermal head.
  • the energy emitted by the thermal head is controlled by changing the voltage, the set pulse duration being 7 ms and only one pulse being emitted.
  • the energy delivered is between 0.71 and 1.06 mJ per dot.
  • the following table shows the transferred anthraquinone dyes I, their absorption maximum ⁇ max [nm] measured in methylene chloride, their half-value values HWB [cm -1 ] and their transfer data Q * [mJ / Dot] and m [1 / mJ].
