  • both of the thermal transfer recording materials provide printed images having poor adhesion to common plastic films, resulting in poor scratch resistance.
  • the thermal transfer recording material described in EP-A-0 696 517 (prior art according to Art. 54(3) EPC) uses a heat-meltable ink comprising a vehicle comprising not less than 85% by weight of an epoxy resin.
