  • a particular goal of this well-known teaching is the need for training a so-called "top coat" (adhesive layer) or a two-layer thermal transfer ink exclude and satisfactory mat during thermal printing Get printouts. This is ensured by the fact that both the wax-bound Separating layer as well as the wax-bound layer of the thermal transfer ink contain a wax-soluble polymer in a sufficiently large amount.

  • the thermal transfer ribbons used must meet various requirements: They should be usable on normal and high-speed printers with conventional print heads. At the same time, the thermal transfer ribbon should also show good print quality at printing speeds of up to 600 mms -1 . In the case of products known in the prior art which meet the aforementioned requirements, however, it is still problematic to achieve good scratch resistance on films and paper. The desired solvent resistance of these tapes is also insufficient. So far there is no product on the market that meets these requirements.
  • the invention was therefore based on the object of a thermal transfer ribbon at the outset to propose the type described, with which the above-mentioned objectives for improvement the print quality as well as the scratch and solvent resistance.
