Definitions
- the invention relates to a thermal transfer ribbon with a conventional carrier and thereon arranged thermal transferable layers.
- Thermal transfer ribbons have been known for a long time. They point to a foil-like Carrier, for example made of paper, a plastic or the like, a Thermal transfer ink, especially in the form of a plastic and / or wax-bound colorant or soot layer.
- the thermal transfer color is used for the Thermal printing technology by means of a thermal print head softens and on Transfer recording paper or printing paper.
- Thermal printers or Thermal printheads that can be used for this process are known for example from DE-AS 24 06 613 and DE-OS 32 24 445. in the Individuals can e.g. proceed as follows: On the thermal print head of the The printer becomes a heated dot and is placed on a sheet of paper letter to be printed.
- the thermal print head prints that Thermal transfer ribbon on a paper to be written on.
- the heated letter of the Thermal print head with a temperature of about 400 ° C causes the Thermal transfer ink softens at the heated point and in contact with it standing paper sheet is transferred.
- the used part of the thermal transfer ribbon is then fed to a coil.
- the thermal transfer ribbon can have different thermal transfer colors side by side exhibit. With the combination of the basic colors blue, yellow and red, produce colored print images. Compared to the usual color photography is not necessary adverse development and fixation. Thermal printers can be used with large Operate writing speed and without annoying background noises. So you can for example, print on an A4 sheet in about 10 seconds.
- serial printers So-called serial printers or line printers can be used for printing.
- the serial printers work with a relatively small, movable printhead up to approx. 1 cm 2 .
- There are 1 or 2 dot rows perpendicular to the writing direction (dot controllable heating point).
- the dot diameter is between about 0.05 to 0.25 mm.
- the number of dots per row of dots is between 6 and 64, which corresponds to a resolution of 2 to 16 dots / mm. Higher resolutions, eg 24 to 32 dots / mm, are expected in the near future.
- It is characteristic of the serial thermal head that it is moved horizontally to the transport direction of the paper during the printing process.
- a line print head is a stationary head or a bar.
- Print bars are available in lengths of up to 297 mm.
- the resolution and dot size correspond to those of serial heads.
- the serial printers are used in typewriters, video printouts, in the PC area as well as in word processors, while the line printers are used in particular in the case of barcode graphic printers, in a computer output unit when there is a large amount of data, in the facsimile, ticket printer, address printer, color copier and CAD / CAM system.
- thermal transfer ribbons In addition to the thermal transfer ribbons described above, there are also those in which the Thermal symbol not through the action of a thermal print head, but through Resistance heating is impressed on a specially designed film-like carrier. The resistance heating takes place in that the thermal transfer color and / or their Carriers contain electrically conductive materials.
- the thermal transfer ink that the The actual "functional layer" during the printing process also contains the one already above described materials. This is also referred to as an ETR material ("Electro Thermal Ribbon ").
- ETR material Electro Thermal Ribbon
- a corresponding thermal transfer printing system for example in U.S. Patent 4,309,117.
- the typeface is sharp and the optical density of the font created, among other things. from the liability of Thermal transfer color depending on the paper. This is proportional to the adhesive area and the adhesive force.
- Rough paper has a small adhesive area, since only the raised parts of the The surface of the paper is wetted by the melted thermal transfer ink.
- "Filling layer” formed from a low-viscosity in the melted state There is material that flows into the valleys of the rough paper surface during the printing process and so increases the adhesive area.
- EP-B-0 348 661 proposes that the hold-off layer or adhesive layer, also known as a top coat, a finely divided form embedded in a paraffin to incorporate tackifying hydrocarbon resin, the paraffin having a Has a melting point of 60 to 95 ° C.
- the teaching according to EP 0 206 036 tries the Avoid the need for such an adhesive layer or a top coat by a layer of wax on the layer of a plastic-bonded thermal transfer ink trained and the plastic-bound thermal transfer ink a thermoplastic Contains plastic with a softening point of 60 to 140 ° C.
- the thermal ribbons described above are finding their way into high-speed printers, especially in the industrial sector, with a printhead from Type of the so-called "real edge” or “corner type” are used.
- These Printheads is the row of dots near the edge or directly on the edge of one Ceramic substrate arranged.
- the edge-type heads have the advantage of being shorter Cooling down times and accordingly a higher write frequency. It can be used Achieve print speeds of 3 to 12 "per second High speed printing, especially high speed color printing,
- the prints achieved have special requirements in terms of print quality, i.e. good edge sharpness, resolution and optical density.
- a special The area of application is the printing of paper and plastic labels. On the latter high scratch resistance of the prints is desirable.

- the thermal transfer ink transferred during printing is intended in particular to Paper and plastic labels show good adhesion and good scratch resistance.
- layer (ii) also contains about 5 to 40, in particular about 10 to 20% by weight of fillers.
- thermo-transferable layer can be used with a low enthalpy of fusion.
- layer compositions with low enthalpy of fusion in molten state have a high adhesion to carrier materials, so that inadequate transfer to the receiving substrate during the printing process would.

- the waxes used in layer (i) follow the usual wax definition with the usual wax definition with the The above limitation of the melting point to about 70 to 110 ° C. It is in broadest sense about a material that is firm to brittle hard, coarse to fine crystalline, translucent to opaque, but not glassy, melts above about 70 ° C, however, a little above the melting point, relatively low viscosity and is not stringy. Waxes of this type can be found in hydrocarbon waxes (Alkanes without functional groups) and in waxes from long-chain organic Classify compounds with functional groups (especially ester and acid waxes). In addition to petroleum wax, hydrocarbon waxes include petroleum and Tar extracted solid hydrocarbons as well as synthetic paraffins.

If several peaks occur, the The sum of the peak areas. To achieve the sufficiently low The enthalpy of fusion must be given special attention to the choice of binder.
- the binder of layer (ii) must also be compatible with wax so that the layer (ii) has sufficient adhesion to layer (i). Under "wax compatible” is understood here that this polymer is compatible with a liquid wax and when cooling a solution or a dispersion of the polymer in wax none Phase separation occurs.
- Draw wax-compatible polymers in the sense of the invention are characterized in that they are meltable below about 100 ° C. You show in melted state stickiness.

- Layer (ii) also contains about 5 to 30% by weight, in particular about 15 to 25% by weight % By weight, waxes and / or wax-like substances.
- the addition of waxes and / or wax-like substances prevent the tape from sticking when rolled up or sticking of the tape to the receiving substrate at locations where there is no Symbol should be transferred.
- a higher addition of wax than indicated is too avoid, because the high enthalpy of fusion of the wax entire formulation of layer (ii) would become too high.
- a low wax additive leads to a low enthalpy of fusion, but does not prevent sticking desired scope.

After this Printing process, the thermal transfer ribbon is separated from the acceptor as long as layer (ii) is still "liquid", i.e. in the melted or softened state is present. This fact enables the use of polymer resin-bound inks, which in turn ensure high edge sharpness, good resolution and optical density. This is particularly important for real-edge type print heads.
