Description
本発明はサーマルヘッド等を介して昇華性染料を熱転写することにより画像を記録するために用いられる熱転写受像シートに関する。 The present invention relates to a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet used for recording an image by thermally transferring a sublimable dye via a thermal head or the like.
デジタルカメラ等で撮影した画像を印刷する方式としては、インクジェット方式、昇華転写記録方式が主流である。昇華転写記録方式はインクジェット方式と比して階調表現に優れるという利点がある。 As a method for printing an image taken with a digital camera or the like, an inkjet method or a sublimation transfer recording method is mainly used. The sublimation transfer recording method has an advantage of excellent gradation expression as compared with the ink jet method.
昇華転写記録方式においては、基材上に例えばシアン、マゼンダ、イエローの熱昇華性染料層を形成した熱転写シートと、基材上に熱昇華性染料を受容し得る受容層を形成した熱転写受像シートとを対向して重ね合わせ、サーマルヘッドを熱転写シートの染料層を形成していない側に接触させ、画像情報に応じて熱をかけ各昇華性染料を熱転写受像シートに所定量移行させることにより画像を形成する。サーマルヘッドに印加する熱量に応じて染料の転写量を細かく制御することができるため、階調表現に優れた画像を得ることが可能である。 In the sublimation transfer recording method, for example, a thermal transfer sheet in which a cyan, magenta, and yellow thermal sublimation dye layer is formed on a substrate, and a thermal transfer image receiving sheet in which a reception layer capable of receiving the thermal sublimation dye is formed on the substrate. The thermal head is brought into contact with the side of the thermal transfer sheet where the dye layer is not formed, heat is applied according to the image information, and each sublimation dye is transferred to the thermal transfer image-receiving sheet by a predetermined amount. Form. Since the amount of dye transferred can be finely controlled in accordance with the amount of heat applied to the thermal head, it is possible to obtain an image excellent in gradation expression.
熱転写受像シートは、基材上に少なくとも熱昇華性染料を受容し得る受容層を設けたものである。熱転写受像シートの基材として一般的な合成紙を用いた場合、コシの弱さと耐熱性不足が問題となる。とりわけ耐熱性不足はカール、シワ等の品質不良を引き起こし大きな問題となっていた。 The thermal transfer image-receiving sheet is provided with a receiving layer capable of receiving at least a heat-sublimable dye on a substrate. When general synthetic paper is used as the base material of the thermal transfer image-receiving sheet, weakness and insufficient heat resistance become problems. In particular, the lack of heat resistance has caused serious problems such as curling and wrinkling, and has become a major problem.
こうした課題を解決するために、例えば特許文献１には比較的安価で熱収縮率が小さいポリエチレンテレフタレートを主成分として含む背面フィルム層を用いる提案がなされている。 In order to solve such problems, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes to use a back film layer containing polyethylene terephthalate as a main component that is relatively inexpensive and has a small heat shrinkage rate.
一方、熱転写受像シートの受容層側ともう一方の側に搬送性、裏面筆記性、糊付け性、バックプリント適性等を付与するために背面層が設けられる場合がある（例えば特許文献２〜５参照）。
On the other hand, a back layer may be provided on the receiving layer side and the other side of the thermal transfer image receiving sheet in order to impart transportability, backside writing property, gluing property, backprint suitability, etc. (see, for example,
上記特許文献２〜５は基材として用いた合成紙上に直接背面層を形成したものであり、基材と背面層の間に背面フィルム層を設けた場合については言及されていない。本発明者らが検討したところ、基材、背面フィルム層、背面層をこの順に積層した熱転写受像シートにおいては、紙送りローラを具備する記録装置に用いた際に紙送り量のズレに起因する染料インクの付着位置ズレが発生することが分かった。インクの付着位置ズレは印画品質を著しく損なうため、解決が急務となっていた。
In
本発明は係る事情を鑑みてなされたものであり、基材、背面フィルム層、背面層をこの順に積層した熱転写受像シートにおいて、インクの付着位置ズレを生じない、優れた印画品質を達成するものである。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and achieves excellent print quality that does not cause misalignment of ink adhesion in a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet in which a substrate, a back film layer, and a back layer are laminated in this order.

＜評価＞
実施例１〜４及び比較例１〜２で得られた熱転写受像シートを用いて、剥離強度、押し込み硬度、印画の測定、評価を以下の方法にて行った。結果は以下の表１に記す。
<Evaluation>
Using the thermal transfer image-receiving sheets obtained in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, peel strength, indentation hardness, measurement of printing, and evaluation were performed by the following methods. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
（剥離強度評価）
引張強度試験機(島津製作所社製「ＥＺ‐ＬＸ」)を用い、試験速度１０００ｍｍ／ｍｉｍにて剥離試験を行い背面フィルム層の剥離強度を調べた。
(Peel strength evaluation)
Using a tensile strength tester (“EZ-LX” manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation), a peel test was conducted at a test speed of 1000 mm / mim to examine the peel strength of the back film layer.
（押し込み硬度評価）
押し込み硬度試験機（ＭＴＳ社製「ナノインデンターＤＣＭ」）にバーコビッチ圧子を装着し、背面層の押し込み硬度試験を行った。深さ８００ｎｍの硬度から押し込み硬度を算出した。
(Indentation hardness evaluation)
A Barcovic indenter was attached to an indentation hardness tester (“Nanoindenter DCM” manufactured by MTS), and an indentation hardness test of the back layer was performed. The indentation hardness was calculated from the hardness at a depth of 800 nm.
（印画評価）
熱転写昇華型プリンタを４０℃８０％ＲＨの恒温恒湿槽に設置し、グレーベタ画像を１０枚連続で印画した。色ズレが１枚も発生しなかったものを〇、１枚以上発生したものを×とした。
(Print evaluation)
The thermal transfer sublimation type printer was installed in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 40 ° C. and 80% RH, and 10 gray solid images were continuously printed. A case where no color misregistration occurred and a case where one or more color misregistration occurred were marked as x.
＜比較評価結果＞
実施例１〜４で得られた本発明の熱転写受像シートは、いずれも基材と樹脂層との剥離強度が４Ｎ以上であり、かつ、背面層の押し込み強度が０．３ＧＰａ以上を示し、色ズレ発生のない良好な印画特性が得られた。一方、比較例１で得られた比較例品は、標準の未処理ＰＥＴフィルムを用いた為に剥離強度が２．０Ｎと低く、また、比較例２で得られた比較例品は背面層に架橋剤を用いないことから背面層の押し込み強度が０．２３ＧＰａと低く、印画時に色ズレが発生した。
<Comparison evaluation result>
In the thermal transfer image-receiving sheets of the present invention obtained in Examples 1 to 4, the peel strength between the substrate and the resin layer is 4 N or more, and the indentation strength of the back layer is 0.3 GPa or more. Good printing characteristics with no deviation were obtained. On the other hand, the comparative product obtained in Comparative Example 1 has a low peel strength of 2.0 N because a standard untreated PET film is used, and the comparative product obtained in Comparative Example 2 is a back layer. Since the crosslinking agent was not used, the indentation strength of the back layer was as low as 0.23 GPa, and color misregistration occurred during printing.
