Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a method of outputting an image on a sticky seal paper by a video printer or the like and attaching the image to a flip of a mobile phone has been often used. However, a method of simply attaching a paper sticker on an image does not provide a high-grade feeling with excellent design properties, and often causes the edges to be worn or peeled off over a long period of use.

より画像を転写している。That is, in the image transfer method described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-34158, an acrylic resin or an epoxy resin is coated on the surface of a transfer object, and the surface of the coated transfer object is coated. After the image on the printing paper is pasted, the image is transferred by, for example, pressing a pressurized body provided with a heater, and an acrylic film is pasted on the transferred image. In addition, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
In the image transfer method described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 282198, an image of photographic paper is attached to the surface of a resin-coated transfer body, and then the image is transferred by high-frequency heating instead of the pressurizing body. .

転写を行なうことが難しい。However, since an acrylic resin is usually used for the ink receiving layer of photographic paper, it often adheres to the coating layer of the object to be transferred and becomes difficult to peel off after heating. In addition, under conditions such as limited heating temperature and heating time, the ink only adheres to the surface of the coating resin, so it is necessary to bond a protective acrylic film to the surface, which reduces costs. Get high. On the other hand, in the high-frequency heating, the heating becomes non-uniform depending on the thickness and type of the object to be heated, and it is difficult to perform uniform transfer.

が転写される。DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the transfer step of the present invention, when an image of a sublimable ink output from a printer is transferred to a transparent coating film (coating layer) on a transfer object, the sublimation temperature is reduced by reducing the pressure. The transfer can be performed at a relatively low temperature. The degree of vacuum is 15 mmHg to 0.1 mmH
g is desirable, and if it is 15 mmHg or more, the transfer time becomes too long. On the other hand, the cost increases to improve the airtightness so that the degree of vacuum reaches 0.1 mmHg or less. The sublimated ink penetrates into the transparent coating film on the surface of the transfer object, and the image is transferred.

The isocyanate component of the urethane-based resin is preferably not a TDI (toluene diisocyanate) type that easily yellows when heated, but an HMDI (hydrogenated MDI) type or an MDI (diisocyanate diphenylmethane) type that hardly yellows.
