Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dye-donor element for use according to thermal dye sublimation transfer printing and more particularly to materials which can be added to the dye-donor element in order to improve the dye transfer efficiency.
- Thermal dye sublimation transfer also called thermal dye diffusion transfer is a recording method in which a dye-donor element provided with a dye layer containing sublimable dyes having heat transferability is brought into contact with a receiver sheet and selectively, in accordance with a pattern information signal, heated with a thermal printing head provided with a plurality of juxtaposed heat-generating resistors, whereby dye from the selectively heated regions of the dye-donor element is transferred to the receiver sheet and forms a pattern thereon, the shape and density of which is in accordance with the pattern and intensity of heat applied to the dye-donor element.
- a dye-donor element for use according to thermal dye sublimation transfer usually comprises a very thin support e.g. a polyester support, one side of which is covered with a dye layer, which contains the printing dyes.
- a dye layer which contains the printing dyes.
- an adhesive or subbing layer is provided between the support and the dye layer.
- the opposite side is covered with a heat-resistant layer that provides a lubricated surface against which the thermal printing head can pass without suffering abrasion.
- An adhesive layer may be provided between the support and the heat-resistant layer.
- the dye layer can be a monochrome dye layer or it may comprise sequential repeating areas of different colored dyes like e.g. of cyan, magenta, yellow and optionally black hue.
- a dye-donor element containing three or more primary color dyes is used, a multicolor image can be obtained by sequentially performing the dye transfer process steps for each color.
- thermal solvents are non-hydrolyzable organic compounds that are solid at ambient temperature but molten at elevated temperatures. They have a melting point between 40°C and 300°C, preferably between 40°C and 150°C. In molten state they act as a solvent within the element in which they are contained. These compounds are known under such different names like thermal solvents, melt-formers, melt-modifiers, eutectic formers, plasticizers, softeners, and thermal development and diffusion-promoting agents.
- thermal dye transfer donor elements for example, in EP 318944, EP 318945, EP 390044, JP 56/89985, JP 59/222391, JP 60/44392, JP 60/56590, JP 61/286199, JP 62/108086, JP 62/283176, JP 02/3384, JP 02/25387, JP 02/151485 and JP 03/10891 and in EP-A-531580.
- thermal solvents in the dye layer of the dye-donor element decreases the stability of the dye-donor element stored in rolled form due to the transfer of these compounds of the dye layer of one wrapping of the donor element to the heat-resistant layer of an adjacent wrapping of the donor element or due to the softening of the dye layer.

- the support of the dye-donor element may be an electrically resistive ribbon consisting of e.g. a multilayer structure of a carbon-loaded polycarbonate coated with a thin aluminium film.
- Current is injected into the resistive ribbon by electrically addressing a print head electrode resulting in highly localized heating of the ribbon beneath the relevant electrode.
- the fact that in this case the heat is generated directly in the resistive ribbon and that it is thus the ribbon that gets hot leads to an inherent advantage in printing speed using the resistive ribbon/electrode head technology as compared to the thermal head technology, in which latter case the various elements of the thermal printing head get hot and must cool down before the head can move to the next printing position.
